About Soy sauce made from soy (tamari)
Soy sauce is a savory, deep-brown liquid condiment made by fermenting soybeans and usually roasted wheat with salt, water, and a cultured mold, a process that can take months to develop its complex flavor. A cornerstone of East and Southeast Asian cooking for centuries, it delivers a salty, earthy, richly umami taste that seasons and deepens almost any dish. Many styles exist, from light and dark Chinese soy sauces to Japanese shoyu, naturally brewed versus quicker chemically produced versions, and wheat-free tamari for those avoiding gluten.
Soy sauce is high in sodium but used in small amounts, and it contributes trace amino acids and antioxidants from fermentation. It is used to season stir-fries, marinades, dipping sauces, soups, noodles, fried rice, and glazes, and as an all-purpose table condiment. A splash adds savory depth wherever a dish needs a lift. Choose a naturally brewed soy sauce for the fullest flavor, and store the bottle in a cool, dark place, refrigerating it after opening to preserve its aroma.
