Note
For a vegan version, ensure you use a vegetarian oyster sauce made from mushrooms.
Store the sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
This sauce works well as a marinade for tofu, chicken, or beef; let meat sit for at least 15 minutes before cooking.
If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of water or vegetable broth to thin it to your preferred consistency.
