How is Mushroom Sauce used in Thai cooking?

Mushroom sauce is the plant-based stand-in for oyster sauce - same dark colour, same glossy richness, same savoury-sweet depth, but made from mushrooms instead of shellfish. It lets us cook vegan and vegetarian versions of dishes that would normally lean on oyster sauce, with no loss of that rounded umami. Stirred into stir-fries and noodles, it brings the same satisfying savouriness. It's one of the small swaps that keep a fully plant-based plate tasting complete rather than compromised.
