The Magic of Chilli Oil
Discover the tantalizing marvel of chilli oil.
Every Asian kitchen is sure to keep a bottle of soy sauce and oyster sauce handy. The two essential sauces that can accentuate the natural flavours of meats, seafood, veggies, rice and noodle dishes; as well as imbue them with a bold and tantalizing savoury taste.
The Versatile Soy Sauce
On its own, soy sauce is a wonder seasoning for almost every kind of dish in any Asian cooking method. Also enjoyed as a table condiment, often mixed with other ingredients for a variety of flavours.
Chinese light soy sauce is made by brewing soybeans with brine water, while dark soy sauce is added with caramel to temper its saltiness, giving it a slightly thicker texture and colour. Premium soy sauce is the first run of reddish amber liquid from the same process – considered the highest quality soy sauce with a richer umami flavour.
The Bold Flavour of Oyster Sauce
Oyster sauce is made by cooking oysters in meticulously controlled heat to extract their natural juices and flavour, blended with the perfect balance of sugar and cornstarch for a rich texture and bold savoury taste. Versatile to elevate the overall flavours and aroma of Asian dishes.
Soy Sauce & Oyster Sauce: The Umami Combo
When used together, the flavours of soy sauce and oyster sauce compliments each other, resulting in a bold umami flavour and a smooth, comforting taste. Best for marinades, stir-fries, braised dishes, a flavouring sauce for steamed-cooked delights and more.
