LKK is good stuff. But be aware that of the 4 or 5 different incarnations
of LKK oyster sauce, only the Premium (full color picture of couple in a
boat on label) lists "oyster extract" as the *first* ingredient. That's the
one you want. Panda and the others I've seen in varioust Asian stores
don't list it first.
