Vegetarian Oyster-Style Sauce

Vegetarian Oyster-Style Sauce is a vegetarian alternative to traditional oyster sauce commonly used in East and Southeast Asian cooking to add savory, umami depth to stir-fries, marinades and glazes. It is typically made from mushrooms, soy and seasonings to mimic the flavor of oyster sauce while remaining plant-based. As a condiment, Vegetarian Oyster-Style Sauce is used in small amounts and is not a source of meaningful protein, fiber or healthy fats; however it is high in sodium (7g per 100g), so a little goes a long way. Because it’s a processed savory sauce, it can contribute a large portion of salt when added freely to dishes, but when used sparingly it provides umami flavor with minimal calories and only trace amounts of other nutrients.
