Soy sauce recipes are one of the easiest ways to build flavor fast. It adds salt, depth, and balance to simple meals without extra effort.
If you’re cooking gluten free, this is important: if soy sauce is the only source of gluten in a recipe, you can swap it for tamari and the meal becomes gluten free.
Use soy sauce early in cooking to build flavor into the dish, or at the end for a sharper finish.
Balance soy sauce with something sweet or acidic if needed to round out the flavor.
Start small and add more. It’s easy to oversalt.
Use it to reheat leftovers by adding moisture and flavor at the same time.
If cooking gluten free, replace soy sauce with tamari at a 1:1 ratio.
