Chinese fried rice, secret in squeeze bottle?
I went to the Chinese takeout place the other day, ordered shrimp fried rice and watched them prepare my order. The woman fried up the ingredients and all of a sudden she grabbed a squeeze bottle (it was dark and loose liquid), when she poured it on the rice a nice aroma filled the place. Could it be a mixture of blend of oyster sauce, sesame oil and garlic?? If not, what is it? I’m trying to do this at home with no luck. It doesn’t taste the same. Help Please!

I think that it could be soy sauce. I love the flavor it gives rice and other chinese food.
what about soy sauce!
What I use to make my liquid is the following:
I start with hot water in a custard dish – about 1/4 full of hot water. I add 1 tsp of chicken base to that and stir. Then I add soy sauce (about 2-3 glugs), 2 glugs of oyster sauce, 5 drops of sesame oil, 1/4 to 1/2 tsp ground ginger, and some fresh ground black pepper. All that is then put in the squeese bottle and used as needed.
My best of all sauce to use, and the simpliest if you can find it, is a sauce called Ketjap Manis, Ketjap, or Catjap which is an Indonesian sauce (it’s kind of a sweet thick soy sauce). It is absolutely the best for fried rice (Nasi Goreng is the Indonesian name for it) and works wonders as a marinade for chicken and steak.
So, if you have an Oriental store near you, try to find that. If you don’t have it, use the above recipe. That sauce works great for stir-fries as well.
My Indonesian-Dutch neighbor would add a little sugar to the first recipe but I leave it out.
It was probably a mixture if half soy and half oyster sauce.
