What Is Soy Sauce?
Soy sauce, also called shoyu or soya sauce, is a versatile liquid seasoning used in cooking and as a table condiment. It's made from fermented soybeans, wheat, salt, and a fermentation brewing process.
How Soy Sauce Is Made
Traditional soy sauce production involves a lengthy fermentation process of steamed soybeans, salt water, and wheat with fungal cultures, often lasting several months to years. The fermented soybean mixture is then pressed, heated, and bottled. Some premium varieties undergo double fermentation for enhanced flavour. A quicker modern method uses lactic acid hydrolysis, breaking down proteins chemically in just days. This process, while faster, often results in a different flavour profile compared to a naturally brewed version.
During fermentation, the raw materials, including soybeans and wheat, develop complex flavours under direct sunlight. Depending on your recipe, you can include added sugar to balance the salty flavour. The resulting sauce can range from light to dark, each with unique characteristics. Soybean paste is also a by-product of this traditional method, often used in various Asian cuisines.

- Dipping Sauce: Mix it with vinegar and chilli for dumpling dipping. Blend with wasabi for sushi.
