  • Megachef Thai Oyster Sauce (Gluten-Free)

    A sweet and subtle oyster flavor

    Although this premium oyster sauce is made in Thailand and not southern China, where oyster sauce was invented, many cooks prize Megachef oyster sauce because of its subtle oyster flavor and gluten-free recipe. Unlike many supermarket oyster sauces, its main ingredient is actual oyster extract, not sugar. It has a well-balanced, salty-sweet, mild oyster flavor and pourable consistency.

    Oyster sauce originated in Guangdong, Fujian and Taiwan, but its popularity has spread across China and the world, where it is used as both a condiment and a cooking ingredient, in dips, sauces, marinades, stir-fries and braises.

    Recommended by Food & Wine magazine: "Mega Chef has that salty, satisfying flavor, but is unexpectedly vivid and clean-tasting. It is dark and syrupy, with an intensely umami, sweet and not-too-salty triple whammy of flavor."

    Craft + Process

    Megachef describes its craft: “The fresh rock oysters used to make this come from the crystal clear waters off the Gulf of Thailand. Once harvested they are smoked over hardwood to infuse them with a deep rich color and aromatic flavor. Finally, the oysters are simmered with sugar, salt and corn starch until they form a velvety amazing sauce!"

    How To Use It

    Oyster sauce is both a condiment and a cooking ingredient. Here are some of the myriad ways it is used to bring a savory-salty-umami boost to dishes:

    • Table condiment and dipping sauce
    • Dressing for cold noodles and salads
    • Marinade for meats: Use to remove “meaty” odor and add richness
    • Sauce for stir-fries: Add toward the end of stir-frying to retain flavor
    • Flavoring for braises: Avoid high-temperature cooking, braising over medium to low heat for optimal flavor
    Storage

    Close cap tightly after each use and promptly store in refrigerator.

    Note that despite a plastic protective neckband, the cap on this product sometimes loosens in transit and leaks a small amount. Simply tighten the cap and refrigerate the bottle. We will of course replace any bottles with significant leaks. Do not purchase if this is not acceptable to you. (Hopefully Megachef will someday redesign the packaging!)
