Looking at the recipe included for fried rice, it says to use a tsp of
chinese brown gravy syrup(and specifically it says not soy sauce)
Any idea what this could be. Oyster sauce maybee. I thought I was
familiar with most asian ingrediants, but this one stumps me.

It's just a thicker than usual brown beef based gravy. You should be able
to thicken up some regular jarred gravy with a little extra cornstarch to
match it. Jarred mentioned only for ease as you need just a ts (seems low,
sure it's not TB?).

Depending on the rest of the recipe, Oyster sauce may not have been intended
but might taste pretty good! It depends on what other spices are in there.
Say, if it has alot of anise or 5-spice, the oyster sauce may be slightly
overpowering hence the beef gravy to 'cut it down a notch'.
