The configuration of soy sauce may contain trichloropropanol (toxic ***), although the product that meets the national standards will not cause harm to the human body and can be eaten safely, it is still recommended that you buy brewed soy sauce.

    Brewed soy sauce can be divided into light soy sauce and dark soy sauce

    Light soy sauce - made from high-quality soybeans and flour, fermented and matured. "The color is light and elegant, the ester aroma and sauce aroma are rich, and the taste is delicious.

    Dark soy sauce - is a dark soy sauce made by adding caramel to light soy sauce and making it through a special process, which is suitable for braised pork, braised foods and dark dishes. The color is intense, with vinegar and sauce aromas.

    What is the difference between light soy sauce and dark soy sauce?

    In the fermentation process, the soy sauce that is extracted for the first time is called "head extraction", the next raw material is taken back for the second fermentation and then extracted is called "second extraction", and the third fermentation is called "triple extraction".

    Light soy sauce is soy sauce that is mixed with the first oil, the second oil, and the third oil according to the proportion. Light soy sauce is lighter in color and delicious in taste, making it more suitable for stir-frying and cold salad. Because the head pumping oil contains the most umami substances, the higher the proportion of the first pumping oil in general, the better the quality of the light soy sauce.

    Dark soy sauce is a soy sauce that is obtained by further concentrating these "oil extractions". Dark soy sauce is generally darker in color and more viscous, so dark soy sauce is more suitable for "coloring". Not only that, but some dark soy sauce also adds some extra "caramel" (colorant) to deepen the color, which makes it easier to color.

    Therefore, light soy sauce is seasoned to enhance freshness, and dark soy sauce is brightened and colored. Compared with light soy sauce and dark soy sauce, ordinary soy sauce is in between, with heavy color, heavy flavor, bitter and salty taste, and it needs to be heated for a long time to have a rich sauce aroma.

    The common "Wei Ji Xian" in the supermarket is actually a kind of soy sauce, which belongs to light soy sauce, but with the addition of some umami additives, it is fresher and has a more mellow taste, which can replace MSG (chicken essence).

    "Steamed fish soy sauce" is also soy sauce, soy sauce is "soybean", soy sauce is soy sauce brewed from soybeans, of course, steamed fish soy sauce is also added with some food sweeteners when making, the taste is salty and sweet, so it can meet the needs of steamed fish.

    What is Oyster Sauce?

    Oyster sauce is a condiment made from oysters (oysters) as the main raw material, and it also has the effect of improving freshness. Oyster sauce is a "nutritious + fresh" condiment, and it is generally recommended to add a small amount when the dish comes out of the pot.

    Although condiments can add flavor and freshness to food, they must be done in moderation and not greedy!
