When buying oyster sauce, it doesn't matter if it is a famous brand, as long as there is no it on the bottle, it is fake oyster sauce. I am the fiery red pepper and wish you happiness every day.
Last week I went shopping at the supermarket and saw a pair of young people tangling in front of the shelves of oyster sauce for a long time, and finally walked away with a bottle of oyster sauce. Just when the oyster sauce in my house was almost used up, I went over to take a look, and it turned out that the two of them chose for half a day, and they didn't choose correctly, and bought a bottle of fake oyster sauce.
Some people may ask, do big supermarkets also sell fake oyster sauce? You don't have to say, there really is. When we choose oyster sauce, don't care about brand-name products, as long as there are no these 2 words on the bottle, it is all fake oyster sauce. Here's how to pick real oyster sauce
The first thing you do when you buy oyster sauce at the supermarket is to look at its ingredient list. Be sure to have the word "oyster juice" and be in the first place. According to the relevant regulations, the raw materials with the most ingredients should be marked in the first place.
China's oyster sauce, in the ingredient list only indicates the ingredients, not the content, so we can only judge the oyster juice content by whether there is oyster juice word, and the position of these two words in the ingredient list.
There are some oyster sauces, the first place in the ingredient list is water, the second place is oyster sauce; and some oyster sauce does not have oyster sauce in it; everyone knows how to buy it after meeting it, right?
In addition to seeing if there is oyster juice, and its ranking. The second step we want to see is whether its production standards meet the national standards - gb/t21999.
Gb means national standard, t is recommended, national recommendation standard number 21999, is the quality assurance can be assured to buy products. There are some oyster sauce, its standard number is used in other letters at the beginning, such as qxxxxx, the production standard of this oyster sauce is not the national standard, is the local standard or enterprise standard, this standard is not what we do not understand, so this kind of is not recommended to buy.
Condiments will have some additives in them. Some oyster sauces, which do not have oyster sauce in the ingredient list, are blended directly with other condiments and additives. The food additive thing is not necessarily bad, the premise is that it cannot exceed the allowable amount, and the less the additive, the better. The following will introduce you to several common food additives and their role.
(1) Hydroxypropyl diamyl phosphate: thickener, stabilizer, can be added but can not exceed the relevant standards
(2) Sodium glutamate: increases the umami taste, which is also the main component of monosodium glutamate. It is also the main additive of many oyster sauces and is a normal additive
(3) Xanthan gum: thickening, suspension, emulsification, stability, superior performance of biological glue, relatively safe (high-quality oyster sauce does not add this)
(4) Potassium sorbate: preservative. Some merchants advertise that their products do not contain preservatives. As a result, there is potassium sorbate in the ingredient list, so don't buy it
(5) Yeast extract: flavor enhancer, yeast extract, rich flavor, mellow taste, is a natural and safe additive.
In addition, there is 5'-flavored disodium nucleotide, which is also used to enhance freshness with sodium glutamate.
When buying, choose oyster sauce with fewer additives.
1, look at the color: the color of good oyster sauce is reddish brown to tan, good gloss. It is not recommended to buy if the color is too dark.
2, look at the form: good oyster sauce when poured is semi-liquid, the viscosity is moderate, there is no delamination and impurities. If you find that there are residue impurities at the bottom of the bottle, or oyster sauce layering, starch precipitation, it is not recommended to buy. The quality of this is poor.
3, taste the taste: oyster sauce is originally for freshening. Good oyster sauce tastes delicious and delicious. If you taste bitter, burnt, sour and other odors, this is not recommended to buy.
When making a meal, adding a little oyster sauce can help to refresh. And when making some vegetables, you can also use oyster sauce as the main condiment (such as oyster sauce lettuce).
The oyster sauce bottles on the market are mainly, when we are cooking, take the bottle to pour, it is easy to grasp the amount, and if you are not careful, you will pour more; sometimes the hand is very oily, and the lid of the oyster sauce is relatively tight and cannot be unscrewed; and then the oyster sauce is more viscous, sometimes in a hurry, and it is also possible to pour out half a day.
Therefore, to recommend to everyone the following oyster sauce bottle extrusion artifact, installation is simple, the use is simpler, only need a light pressure to quantitatively press out oyster sauce, when not used, you can also press the pressure off, convenient and practical. I also use it at home, like you can click the link below to understand.
