Veggie & Vegan Oyster Sauce

Given that oyster sauce contains – well, yes, oysters – we thought we’d offer this easy little recipe. Use hot on stir-fries or cool as a dipping sauce.

Lee Kum Kee makes a vegan equivalent of oyster sauce called ‘Vegetarian Stir Fry Sauce’. It’s available from Oriental stores and some supermarkets.
