Thank you for an intelligent, conversational, and pleasant description without all the fancy editing or laundry list of sauce history that I could have goggled myself. Excellent video. Thanks!

I am so glad that you explained this.  I always tend to use oyster sauce and now I know it is because the Hoisin has a licorise flavor, but I could never identify it.  Thanks so much

James great explanation, we use oyster sauce in many of our vegetable stirfry's and with chicken too! . I have used Hoisin sauce before, but don't really care for the flavor. Perhaps it's an acquired taste, I know it took me many years to learn to love fish sauce, and now I couldn't live without it.

I love both these products James and I use the oyster sauce more for beef when I cook stir frys for the family. But I don't really care I'll use both on anything to be honest

Hi James. Can you explain the difference between Oyster and Teriaky sauce, and where to use them please? Thank you! :)

[FegrusMojo]

I perfer the oyster sauce as the hoisin is a little to strong for some dishes.  In some Thai meals they use a combination of oyster/fish/golden maybe even soy etc.  Glad you mentioned the Veggie option as one of my sisters is a vegetarian and another is a vegan, I have three so it makes for an interesting Christmas dinner :D

Hoisin for beef and pork,   Oyster for fish, shellfish and chicken.

Besides Lee kum kee, What other kinds of Oyster Sauce Do You Know?

[ragonfand]

ya can't go wrong with ground up panda sauce

[ClashixTV]

can u use oyster sauce straight from jar? as dipping? or needs to be cooked? ty

[wachirarisky]

The red one tastes like salt than salt. Don't buy it unless you like salt and oyster smell. Even soy sauce is way better than this. I thought it was more of a barbeque sauce instant regret

[grumpy]

I was just talking to Chef Tom Lin about this very topic because I did not know if they were interchangeable.... If you are not subbed to him you may enjoy his cooking videos.... Between the two of you my Asian cooking game is on point ! Were you able to use the pic of my chicken broccoli stir fry I sent to you for your web site ?

THE FOLLOWING BOTTLE OF HOISIN SAUCE IS NOT AS BEAUTIFUL AS WHAT WAS THE TIME, IT IS VERY USE ONLY A FEW TIMES TO END A BOTTLE, BUT THE MARKET PRICE IS A bit high.

I'm looking for something that doesn't have all that extra msg in it.

...that's not necessarily OYSTER sauce, if it says OYSTER FLAVORED, gotta watch out for those play on words; They love their word plays, because that's how they are cramming their Genetic Engineering down our throats.  Same thing with "modified", if it's modified, it's Genetically Engineered, meaning, it's been modified from the original.
