I only use it in stir-fry, but it's the kind of thing that lasts practically forever (even if the "expiration date" says otherwise). I'd use it at a relaxed pace.
As long as it's refrigerated, it will last a long time. It's great when trickled over a burger patty as it's frying, especially turkey burgers which I find lack flavor without the oyster sauce.
If you steam shumai, a drop on top is wonderful. I also have a "sauce-y" recipe for chicken wings in oyster sauce that I would make and eat once a week if I was retired (too late to post but will if asked tomorrow). Also agree with above poster that it lasts forever.
I don’t like bread or pasta - but I love real potatoes. I don’t like sweet things (I don’t think I’ve eaten a doughnut in 2 decades or more). I buy ice cream and it spoils. I eat too much, it’s just not sweet or breads stuff. I don’t know if my diet is gluten free or not or why that would matter. I drink about a gallon of water a day.

gluten is a protein found primarily in wheat flour and in some other grain flours as well. People with celiac disease cannot digest this protein as damages their intestinal tract if they eat it. People with gluten sensitivity dont' have that level of damage but have problems digesting it and have bloating, water retention, gas, etc.
As for using oyster sauce, I find that pretty much any sort of sauteed veggies with a dollop of oyster sauce stirred in at the end is a great way to use it.

Funny story about shelf life that became part of our private family vocabulary:
When Chef Daughter was little I took her to a new Asian grocery in town. Think I've told you about this woman before and her harrowing trip from Vietnam to the States through a refugee camp and many dangerous exploitative situations.
We wanted to make Pad Thai and didn't know anything about fish sauce at that time. The language barrier was impossible but finally they found someone helping who knew a little English. She figured out what we wanted and held it up.
It was too big of a bottle which we tried to communicate. But she kept saying, "You buy this - you no die for a long time."
Sounded like some good luck saying and not helpful or persuasive to the Western mind but finally, being at an impasse, we bought the bottle.
It wasn't until years later that we finally figured out our new citizen was telling us not to worry about size, that the bottle had a long shelf life.
But we always laugh when we buy fish sauce and say, "Now 'you no die for a long time!'"

That's a cute story.
