ABOUT OYSTER SAUCE

1. WHY DO ALL OYSTERS FOR OUR OYSTER SAUCE HAVE TO BE AT LEAST 2-3 YEARS OLD?

  A. They must not be harvested until they have left their "parents house", because until then they are still connected to their mother.

  B. At some point they make a sudden growth spurt and double their size within a few hours. Then you know they are ripe for harvesting.

  C. Only then are they large and ripe enough to be used for the Oyster Sauce with its intense umami flavour.

2. HOW DID LEE KUM SHEUNG "INVENT" OYSTER SAUCE?

  A. He forgot an oyster soup on the cooker and when he tasted the thickened soup, he was so excited by the taste that he started experimenting with it. (Thanks to JustJMD.)

3. WHY IS OUR OYSTER SAUCE-STYLE VEGETARIAN SEASONING SAUCE MADE WITH MUSHROOMS?

  A. For the brown colour, because it should look like our Oyster Sauce.

  B. Because mushrooms, like oysters, have an intense umami flavour.

  C. Because mushrooms are easy to grow and process.

ABOUT SOY SAUCE

4. WHY DO ALL OUR SOYBEANS HAVE THE SAME SIZE WHEN PROCESSED?

  A. Because they then ferment evenly and our Soy Sauce always has the same good quality.

  B. Because there are no different sizes of soybeans. They all grow at the same rate and are "fully grown" at some point.

  C. Because only one particular size is suitable for soy sauce. Too small they taste too bland and too big they are too mealy.

5. WHY DO OUR SOYBEANS RIPEN IN THE NATURAL SUN FOR 3-6 MONTHS?

  A. They first have to dry in the sun before they can be fermented.

  B. Only then is the natural brewing process complete and they can be processed further.

  C. Only then is there room for them again in the factory when the previous batch has been bottled.

6. WHAT IS THE MAIN ELEMENT TO DETERMINE THE PRESENCE OF UMAMI AND THE PRODUCT QUALITY UNDER THE CHINESE SOY SAUCE CLASSIFICATIONS STANDARD?

  A. The level of salt and sugar.

  B. The level of amino acid nitrogen.

  C. The level of soy bean we used.
