About Oestersaus
Oyster sauce, known as "oestersaus" in Dutch, is a savory condiment originating from Chinese cuisine. Traditionally made from oyster extracts, sugar, salt, and sometimes soy sauce, it delivers a rich umami flavor and is commonly used to elevate stir-fried dishes, marinades, and vegetables. Modern versions often use oyster-flavored essence combined with thickeners, like cornstarch, for a consistent texture. While oyster sauce is low in fat, it can be high in sodium, making it advisable to use sparingly, especially for those monitoring their salt intake. Some varieties may contain added MSG for enhanced flavor. Its concentration of marine-based ingredients may provide trace minerals like zinc and selenium, though in minimal amounts. Oyster sauce contributes depth and complexity to culinary creations, but moderation is key for maintaining a balanced diet.
