Dark soy sauce

Dark soy sauce is a flavourful condiment made from soybeans that have been fermented. It is commonly used in Asian cuisine to add a rich, umami taste to dishes. The dark colour of soy sauce comes from a longer fermentation process and the addition of caramel or molasses.

To make dark soy sauce, soybeans are first cooked and then mixed with roasted grains, water, and salt. This mixture is left to ferment for a period of time, allowing the flavours to develop. The sauce is then strained and bottled for use in cooking.

Dark soy sauce is often listed on food labels for its role in adding savoury depth and colour to dishes. It is commonly used in stir-fries, marinades, and sauces to enhance the overall umami flavour. Additionally, it can be used as a dipping sauce or drizzled over dishes like noodles, rice, and sushi for added taste.
