Soy sauce is a readily available substitute for oyster sauce in cooking. There are also vegetarian oyster sauce alternatives made using 100 percent vegetable products that mimic the flavor of the traditionally fermented oyster sauce.

The thick, viscous oyster sauce is commonly used in Asian cooking to lend saltiness as well as a unique flavor to a variety of stir-fried dishes.
