What can I use in place of oyster sauce when cooking?

Question

I do not like the taste or smell of oyster sauce, but many Asian recipes call for it. What can I use as a substitute for oyster sauce? I have just been omitting it, but I was wondering if there was something I could use in place of it.

Answer 1

There is a great substitution for oyster sauce that you can find in vegetarian store...vegans uses 'mushroom sauce' to replace it, i would say there is a 80% similiarity.

Answer 2

Substitute For Oyster Sauce

Answer 3

Oyster Sauce Substitute

Answer 4

You could use fish sauce.
Both smell four, but that indicates they are good to use. When they no longer smell it is a sign they have gone off, so I have been told.
If you want a new taste try to get Ketjap Manis it is Indonesian Sweet Soy Sauce. It may be in the International section at your supermarket. I love it with Fried Rice

Edit "smells foul"

If you want to eat truly healthy, lose body fat consistently, normalize your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, prevent cancer, and even boost your brain health and energy levels, you may have heard all over the news that the Paleo Diet has been found to be one of the best methods of achieving all of these benefits compared to any other popular "fad" diets out there.

The truth is that the Paleo Diet will never be considered a fad because it's just simply the way that humans evolved to eat over approximately 2 million years. And eating in a similar fashion to our ancestors has been proven time and time again to offer amazing health benefits, including prevention of most diseases of civilization such as cancer, heart disease, alzheimers, and other chronic conditions that are mostly caused by poor diet and lifestyle. One of the biggest misunderstandings about the Paleo Diet is that it's a meat-eating diet, or a super low-carb diet. This is not true

Answer 7

Well that depends on what are you cooking? If you are thinking of marinating meat, try a good quality soy sauce and chinese Hua Tiao wine and sesame oil. It's perfect!

Answer 8

I use hoisin sauce and it makes a great substitute. If you can't find it at your local Asian supermarket, use this recipe.

4 tablespoons of soy sauce
2 tablespoons of Peanut Butter
2 teaspoons of Rice Vinegar (You can also use regular white distilled vinegar)
1 finely minced clove of garlic
1 teaspoon of Chinese hot sauce or Rooster Sauce
1 teaspoon of black pepper or more to taste

Answer 9

Soy sauce works wonderfully in place of oyster sauce.

Answer 10

I would never eat it straight, either, but like it mixed in w/ other things to make Asian food. Try it. You probably eat it when you eat out.

or just use some Hoisin sauce, maybe.
