Oyster Sauce (Pearls)
Oyster sauce is an invention by Lee Kum Sheung in Nanshui, Zhuhai of Guangdong Province in China in 1888. He ran a tea stall that sold cooked oysters.
One day, Lee was cooking oysters as usual, but he lost track of time and left them to simmer until he smelt a strong aroma. Lifting the lid of the pot, he was delighted to find the normally clear oyster soup had turned into a thick, brownish sauce with an astonishing delicious taste.
Soon he started selling his newly invented seasoning which turned out to be a hit with the locals. He founded Lee Kum Kee to promote oyster sauce and other Chinese sauces and condiments to all corners of the world.
