Soy Sauce

Soy sauce is a savory, fermented condiment made from soybeans, grain (often wheat), salt, and water, used to add salty-umami flavor. It’s commonly used as a table condiment and in cooking—dipping sauce, marinades, stir-fries, and sushi—where small amounts season dishes. People may track soy sauce to monitor sodium and calorie contributions, note allergen or gluten content, and account for ingredients in recipes.
