While running a humble tea and oyster soup shop in Guangdong, China, Lee Kum Sheung had a happy accident; one day in 1888, he simmered his oysters for too long. His normally clear oyster soup had turned into a thick brown sauce with a rich aroma and an astonishingly complex flavor. Lee knew he had accidentally made something wonderful! He created the Lee Kum Kee brand to promote his newly-invented oyster sauce, and as the sauce's popularity began to grow, so did his company. Though today, Lee Kum Kee is an international brand that is well-known throughout China and around the world, this family-owned business has remained rooted in its beginnings as a simple company founded on delicious flavor. Lee Kum Kee offers a wide variety of traditional Chinese sauces and condiments and is constantly creating innovative new flavors that set the standard for great taste. Whether you're looking for authentic Chinese flavor or delicious condiments to help you keep up with industry trends, Lee Kum Kee offers something for every establishment.

Haven't tasted yet, looks promising... But no plum puree. Very curious to see how that affects the flavor. Did get a little dings during shipping, but that's not normal for products coming from Webstaurant. They do a really good job of packaging their items so that they arrive in good condition.

This hoisin sauce is my favorite by far! The flavor is great for stir fry, which is how I usually use it, but can also be used for dipping, or even as a glaze.

Flavor and value are great. The only down side is that the cans almost always come dented up. They are in a box, in a box, but still come banged up and are often difficult to open because of the severe dents.

This Black Bean Garlic Sauce is by far the best one I've tried. It is very thick and rich, without being overpowering in dishes. Once heated up it thins out a little, and is very easy to mix into stir fry.

The best sweet chili for my Crab Rangoon recipe. I've tried others, I carry others for other items. But this is the ONLY sweet chili for my crab Rangoon pizza. I use it in the mix as well as a topping. My customers rave about this pizza. It's all in the sauce. I have gone to great lengths to find this sauce when others stop selling it. I've gone without my Crab Rangoon pizza because I didn't have this sauce. It's that good.
This stuff is delicious for dipping egg rolls and spring rolls in, and it is a great topping for Chinese food. It is sweet and tastes like plums, but it still goes great with savory food like meat and vegetables.
