water

¼ tsp salt ((to taste))

soy sauce

½ tsp sugar ((optional, use up to 1 teaspoon to taste))

Drain the oysters, being sure to reserve the canned water, then chop your whole oysters.

Heat the chopped oysters with 1 tablespoon water in a small saucepan over medium heat and saute for 10 minutes, stirring frequently.

stir

Remove from heat and stir in ¼ teaspoon of salt then set aside and allow to cool.

strain

Strain the cooled sauce into a clean liquid measuring cup then add 2 tablespoons of soy sauce per 1/2 cup of strained liquid and return the sauce to your saucepan. *Add optional sugar, if desired, before simmering to thicken.

thicken

Heat the sauce over medium-high heat until just beginning to boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes or until the sauce begins to thicken. *It should cling to your spoon or spatula. The sauce will thicken more once refrigerated.
