- 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
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.
