Soy Sauce Recipes

Soy sauce is a salty, savory pantry staple made from fermented soybeans and wheat, prized for adding deep umami flavor to marinades, stir-fries, soups, sauces, noodles, and rice dishes.A small splash can season food more complexly than salt alone. Use it to build flavor in quick weeknight dinners, balance sweet glazes, deepen broths, or finish vegetables, tofu, chicken, beef, seafood, and eggs.Light soy sauce is best for seasoning and dipping, while dark soy sauce adds richer color, mild sweetness, and body. For gluten-free cooking, use tamari or a certified gluten-free soy sauce.
