Oyster Sauce
This particular brand of oyster sauce is the gold standard most brands have more flour, sugar and salt than oysters, but oysters top the ingredient list here. Oyster sauce is one of the essential umami ingredients of the Far East. It goes with everything, and combines beautifully with other umami and aromatic ingredients such as garlic, ginger, fermented black beans, bean sauce, and nam prik pow, and you will probably like it, even if you don't like oysters. Used with restraint, oyster sauce is a useful addition to many Western dishes. Add it at or towards the end of cooking
