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.
