Soy sauce

Soy sauce is a rich, savory condiment that is a fundamental ingredient in Japanese (and many other Asian) cuisines. Made from fermented soybeans, wheat, salt, and a variety of spices, it adds depth, umami, and a touch of saltiness to dishes. Whether you're marinating meats, seasoning sushi rice, or drizzling it over stir-fries, soy sauce enhances the flavor of any meal. Available in various types, including light, dark, and tamari, it’s an essential pantry staple for bringing authentic taste to your cooking.
