The mixture shouldn't be called oyster sauce instead a MUSHROOM SAUCE

[@yongsiao5742]

Just exactly what i needed. Having a dilemma of not being to cook my fave dish because i'm turning vegan and here you are. Yay! Thank you!

[@Veecoco]

Thank you :) We're glad you liked it

[@achut1967]

As I know corn starch can be substituted with arrowroot powder. I also wonder if adding Nori seaweed or konbu kelp will give it a fishy flavor.

[@Veecoco]

Thanks for watching. I think it might add a subtle fishy flavor, but that could work nicely.

[@cyranthus]

So thats like 5 hours of work just for that tiny amount of liquid? you gotta scale up this recipe.

[@Veecoco]

You can easily double or triple the ingredients and batch it :)

Thank you - love it when the video is concise and educational - subscribed !

[@Veecoco]

Thank you 🙏🌱

[@Mona001-01g]

Will pressure cooking the mushrooms reduce the boiling time from 2 hours to 10-20 mins?

[@andyoudontknowwhen]

How long can you save the sauce before it goes bad? Anyway to freeze the rest and save for later?

[@SmooveTV718]

Wow, if you wanna go extra healthy, you can even substitute the soy sauce for coconut liquid aminos.

[@chochooshoe]

could you substitute sugar with erythritol?

[@sad_doggo2504]

Thank you! This is very useful. I can't have soy so I'm going to try subbing in coconut aminos.

[@Veecoco]

Thanks for watching. Great idea. That should work just as well.

[@diannariley8430]

what can I use in place of the brown sugar?

[@Veecoco]

Thanks for watching.
You can use any of your favorite types of sugar or sweeteners

[@SopurkhKaur]

Can shitake mushroom powder be used in place of dried boiled shitake?

[@Veecoco]

Thanks for watching.
I tried it with powdered shitake, but I did not get the same results.
It was much more lumpy and I was not able to filter it well enough so it becomes clear and it didnt taste as good.
That doesn't mean that it doesn't work, just that I didnt get it to work yet :)

[@hdestrellanes]

Hi! May I know what's the shelf life for this vegan oyster sauce?

[@Veecoco]

Hi Hana,
Thanks for your comment.
It will last about 2 weeks in the fridge.

[@hdestrellanes]

@@Veecoco thanks!

[@pratikphuge7364]

This is a shitaake sauce

[@rhythmaddict808]

Store bought also contains lots of MSG that I try to limit, it's in so many things, like chips! Simple and easy! Aloha and Mahalo from Maui!

[@Veecoco]

Thank you, Sandra. We're glad you liked it

[@myomaungmaung46]

Can I use oyster mushroom as well?

[@Veecoco]

Thanks for watching.
We haven't tried it with oyster mushrooms yet, but it would probably taste quite well.
Let us know how it goes :)

[@NOLAqueen504A]

Can you use fresh mushrooms and coconut sugar?

[@Veecoco]

Sure, that would work as well :) Fresh oyster mushrooms, right?

[@chippyuday7213]

It's not oysters sauce because they use already oyster 😂😂😂😂

[@JapKonoko]

Instead of the Shiitake mushrooms, could we use mushroom powder?

[@Veecoco]

Thanks for watching. Yes, but then you'd need to filter it really well with a fine mesh strainer lined with kitchen paper. Otherwise there might be lumps.

[@zubariaaamir9041]

Great
Can we use dried button mushrooms

[@Veecoco]

Thanks for watching.
You could make a mushroom sauce with them and it's likely to be delicious, but it would taste different than oyster sauce.

[@peterbrown9036]

Turned out great- thanks

[@Veecoco]

Thank you, Peter :) We're happy to hear that.

[@banaakeel6025]

Can i use white sugar instead?

[@Veecoco]

Thanks for watching. Yes, you can also use regular sugar

[@veronical3135]

Thank you, just bought oyster sauce and was just wondering for a homemade substitute.

[@Veecoco]

Thank you, Veronica.
We hope you'll like the sauce :)

[@veronical3135]

@@Veecoco I’m sure I’ll do, looks delicious as everything else on this channel. Really glad I found it.

[@costalyrics1373]

Can i use fresh oyster mushroom?

[@Veecoco]

Sorry for the late reply. Ideally, you would use dried mushrooms, as they are more intense in flavor but you could also use fresh ones instead.

[@soy_lareinadelolagartos]

Hi! How long does it last in the refrigerator? Tank U!

[@Veecoco]

Thanks for watching. It should last about 7-10 days in the fridge :)

[@soy_lareinadelolagartos]

Keep growing bro ♥️

[@Veecoco]

Thank you :)

[@ksenijagugic1688]

what about mushrooms,where are they in the sauce?

[@Veecoco]

Thanks for watching. The mushrooms are used in the beginning to make a sort of stock, and then strained out. You can find it in the recipe.

[@AM-mg7gj]

What do you do with the mushroom after you strain it?

[@Veecoco]

Thanks for watching. You could eat them, but similar to stock, you'd usually discard them because they lose a lot of flavor

[@mtrz023]

They say mushroom is not a plant,

[@SopurkhKaur]

Sugar free would be even nicer

[@Veecoco]

Thanks for watching. You can use any of your favorite sweeteners

[@alvinbalunes4593]

How long will it last in fridge and in room temp?
