What is a classic meal?

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.
