Thanks to its excellent taste and amazing versatility, soy sauce is now popular all over the world. It is used everywhere – from marinating meat to cooking unusual Asian desserts. This is a great base for salad dressings – especially when combined with lemon juice, mustard, aromatic spices and fresh herbs. You can marinate meat or chicken in it so that they are juicier, more tender and tastier. Dishes with soy sauce are baked with a beautiful golden crust. You can even make a crispy glaze from it, just by adding a little honey.
How to Use Soy Sauce?
Soy sauce is added to noodles, stewed vegetables, soups and wherever salt is needed. It is a natural flavor enhancer that has no analogues. Dark types are more saturated and concentrated, so they also give an expressive shade. Soy sauce is served with rice, rolls and sushi. Japanese, Chinese and Korean cuisine consists almost entirely of dishes with soy sauce. Other popular additives are also prepared on its basis – for example, unagi or teriyaki!
Types of Soy Sauce
There are two types of soy sauce — light and dark, which differ in the fermentation period. Dark sauce has a longer exposure, it is sharper, thicker and sharper, so it is used for marinating meat and served with sushi. Salads are seasoned with a saltier light sauce, light and pleasant to the taste, meat and fish dishes, seafood, rice, pasta and vegetable stews are watered.
It’s hard to say which soy sauce is the most delicious, because everyone has their own preferences, the most important thing is to choose a high—quality and healthy sauce. It is enough to remember a few rules — a good soy sauce is sold only in transparent glass bottles, and the product should contain the following ingredients: soybeans, wheat, salt, sugar and vinegar.
Real soy sauce is brown and at the same time transparent, there is no sediment in it, and the protein content is about 6-8%.
So imperceptibly, the exotic sauce has become one of the favorite condiments around the world, and its low calorie content has turned it into a popular dietary salad dressing instead of butter, sour cream and mayonnaise.
Salad is perfect for fasting and not only. It will appeal to lovers of healthy, light and fresh food. In addition, the beauty of this salad is that it can be stored for a long time, and every day it becomes tastier. Due to this, zucchini turns out to be very satisfying and can easily replace dinner.

In the Cantonese dialect of Chinese, the name of this dish means “little gift”. “Dim sum” – steamed little edible treasures hidden in dough baskets are popular almost throughout Asia. But the most favorite dish is still, I think, Chinese. The filling can be different. Today we have chopped seafood.
We can say that this soup is the basis of Chinese cuisine. It has a specific sharp taste with a sour tint and a very pleasant aroma, and soy sauce just gives it those Asian notes that distinguish it from other soups. The taste of the soup is specific, whether you like it or not, but I think the recipe will interest only true connoisseurs of Asian cuisine.
