Description
Lee Kum Kee Panda Brand Oyster Sauce is the industry-standard savory seasoning used in professional Chinese kitchens worldwide. This "all-purpose" oyster sauce is crafted from selected oyster extracts to deliver a robust, savory-sweet profile with a deep mahogany color and a silky, glossy finish. It is the essential "umami bomb" required to achieve the authentic taste and appearance of traditional stir-fries, braises, and glazes.

WHY IT WORKS
-
Instant Umami Boost: Concentrated oyster extracts provide a deep savory layer that enhances the natural flavors of meats and vegetables without the need for complex spice blends.
-
Superior Gloss and Sheen: Its thick, viscous consistency creates a professional "restaurant-style" finish on stir-fries, making dishes look as vibrant as they taste.
-
Balanced Sweet-Savory Profile: Formulated to provide a mellow sweetness that perfectly counteracts the saltiness of soy sauce and the bitterness of dark leafy greens.
-
High-Volume Efficiency: The 5 lb (2.27 kg) professional can is designed for high-heat, high-speed commercial environments where speed and cost-per-serving are critical.
-
Heat Stability: Holds its flavor and consistency exceptionally well under the extreme temperatures of a commercial wok station.
-
Foundation of Cantonese Cuisine: Acts as the primary flavor agent in iconic dishes, providing the "brown sauce" base that is synonymous with high-end Chinese-American and Cantonese comfort food.
USE CASES
-
High-Volume Wok Stations: Used as the primary seasoning for signature stir-fry dishes, providing instant flavor and the correct sauce thickness in seconds.
-
Cantonese Braising: Performs exceptionally well in slow-cooked dishes like "Lion's Head" meatballs or braised brisket, where it adds depth and a rich, dark color.
-
Professional Catering: Solves the problem of flavoring large batches of noodles or vegetables; its high concentration means a small amount goes a long way.
-
Modern Fusion Gastronomy: Ideal for adding a hidden "savory anchor" to Western dishes like beef stews, Bolognese, or savory meatloaf.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is the difference between Panda Brand and LKK Premium Oyster Sauce? Panda Brand is the "all-purpose" professional version, offering a balanced flavor and excellent value for high-volume cooking. The Premium version has a higher concentration of oyster extract and is often used for finishing or dipping.
Does this product contain MSG? Lee Kum Kee Panda Brand is typically formulated to provide a rich umami flavor; please check the specific can label for current ingredient listings regarding added enhancers.
How should I store the 5 lb can after opening? Once opened, the sauce should be transferred to a clean, food-grade plastic or glass container and kept refrigerated to maintain its freshness and prevent oxidation.
Is this sauce gluten-free? No. Traditional Panda Brand Oyster Sauce contains wheat as a thickening agent. For gluten-free requirements, we recommend specifically labeled GF Oyster Sauce variants.
Can I use this for dipping? While it can be used for dipping (especially for blanched Gai Lan), it is primarily designed as a cooking sauce to be integrated into recipes under heat.
