Lee Kum KeeMushrooms Vegetarian Oyster Flavour Stir-Fry Sauce, 510 g, 49891

good flavour and great product

As a vegan I've been looking for a vegan alternative to oyster sauce. Frustratingly I could not find such an item in any of the supermarkets where I live or even in the Asian grocery stores. I therefore decided to buy this item from Amazon and I'm extremely pleased! I mix equal parts light soy, dark soy and mushroom sauce (and a pinch of sugar) for a great stir fry sauce. This mushroom sauce has elevated my stir frys adds and I will definitely buy again when I run out.

I'm sure you can get this cheaper from an Asian store, however mine doesn't stock it and I was desperate. Perfect substitute to the oyster version in recipes.

Taste amazing, love adding this to stir fry’s and rice dishes, would recommend.

Recommended as vegetarian alternative to oyster sauce. Have used it in a couple of Vietnamese recipes - really impressed by it. No artificial / unacceptable taste and works really well as an alternative

Great

As a fan of Lee Kum Kee sauces who also likes mushrooms, I thought I'd give this a try. But I didn't like it much.It's a thick sauce, like a ketchup. I found it both very sweet and very salty, which for me is a sickly combination. I wouldn't want to use it as a dipping sauce, when there are nicer flavours to be had from other Lee Kum Kee sauces. But it improves when mixed with water, though there's still a dull, metallic edge to it. Cooked into a dish, it doesn't add much from my point of view--if anything making the flavour worse. I was hoping a mushroom taste would come through, but I couldn't detect one.I'm sure the sauce is a high-quality product from this superior company; it just happens not to suit my tastebuds. I can, however, thoroughly recommend Lee Kum Key Premier dark and light soy sauces, as well as their premier oyster sauce.
