The reason I got some was because I wanted to figure out how to make the typical Chinese takeout brown sauce. I made it without a supposed couple key ingredients, oyster sauce being one of those, and it ended up tasting like oversalted gravy. The alleged story behind oyster sauce is that some chinky retard fell asleep while heating some sort of oyster broth/soup, then awoke to find it condensed down into something akin to oyster sauce. That story is tied into the name of the brand I previously mentioned, but I have no clue if it's true or not personally. Still, I saw people (or maybe bots/shills) say one or two tablespoons of it can add a lot to various dishes, including Western sauces with tomato bases.
