Oyster sauce is one of the great pillars of Cantonese cooking, and few names carry more authority in it than Lee Kum Kee, the house that invented the sauce back in 1888. This is its popular Panda Brand oyster sauce, the dependable everyday choice trusted in home and professional kitchens across the world, a thick, glossy, dark brown sauce built on the concentrated savour of oyster extract.

Its flavour is deeply and satisfyingly umami, savoury with a gentle sweetness and layers of complex, mellow depth. Smooth and clinging, it coats ingredients in a rich, appetising sheen and brings an instant, rounded fullness to a dish that few other seasonings can match, the secret behind the glossy, savoury finish of so much restaurant style Chinese food.

It is a true workhorse. It is the classic seasoning for stir fried greens such as gai lan and for beef and broccoli, the backbone of countless stir fries, and a rich addition to marinades, glazes, noodles and fried rice. A splash deepens sauces and gravies, and it doubles as a quick dipping and finishing sauce.
