Ingredients

  • 1/2 lb shucked oysters with liquid
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 4 tbsp light soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp dark soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sugar

Instructions

  • Chop the oysters into small pieces and place them in a sauce pan, along with the juices and 1 tbsp water. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally.
  • When the oyster water mix comes to a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer to reduce the liquid.
  • Remove the heat from the pan and strain out the oysters, pressing to squeeze out the liquids.
  • Stir in the salt, soy sauces, and sugar. Simmer for another 10 minutes to thicken and reduce, stirring occasionally. Let cool and use immediately. Sauce will keep in a air tight container in the fridge for 1 week.
