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.

Radish itself is a rarity, but the taste of fish is very impressive in combination with this sauce. The sauce is served with fish and vegetable dishes, seafood: shrimp, mussels, etc. Fish baked in dough is eaten by dipping each piece into the sauce.

Bright, spicy, sweet and sour sauce for meat or poultry. Try applying this sauce with a brush or a sprig of rosemary to almost ready-made meat ribs or chicken pieces fried on the grill or in the oven.
