Questions about Worcestershire sauce
Does Worcestershire sauce contain fish?
Traditional Worcestershire sauce is made with anchovies, so it is not vegetarian or vegan. Fish-free versions are available; check the ingredients if you avoid fish.
What can you use Worcestershire sauce for?
A few dashes add savoury depth to Welsh rarebit, stews, meat marinades and Bloody Marys. Stir it in near the end of cooking for a brighter tang, or add it earlier to let its flavour meld into a sauce.
What can you use instead of Worcestershire sauce?
For a quick substitute, mix soy sauce with a little vinegar and a pinch of sugar; add a dash of hot sauce if you want extra bite. It will not reproduce the anchovy-and-tamarind flavour exactly.
How should you store Worcestershire sauce after opening?
Keep the bottle tightly closed in a cool, dark cupboard. Refrigeration is not usually necessary, but follow the storage instructions on the bottle.
Can you use Worcestershire sauce as a marinade?
Yes. Mix it with oil, garlic and black pepper, then coat meat or vegetables before cooking; its vinegar and savoury flavour work especially well with beef. Wipe off excess marinade before grilling so the sugars do not scorch.
Is Worcestershire sauce saltier than oyster sauce?
Oyster sauce contains more sodium: 2,733 mg per 100 g, compared with 1300 mg in Worcestershire sauce. Both are concentrated condiments, so a few dashes or spoonfuls can flavour a dish.
