Salsa de soja, or soy sauce, is a liquid condiment made from fermented soybeans, wheat, salt, and water. Originating in Asia, it plays a central role in Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Southeast Asian cuisines, adding a rich, salty, umami flavor to dishes. Its deep brown color and savory profile make it ideal for marinades, stir-fries, soups, and dipping sauces. Nutritionally, soy sauce is low in calories but high in sodium, which may be a concern for individuals monitoring their salt intake. Variations such as low-sodium soy sauce offer a healthier alternative. Soy itself contains compounds beneficial for heart health, though the fermentation process significantly alters its nutritional makeup. Moderation is recommended due to its salt content, but when used thoughtfully, soy sauce can enhance flavors while contributing to a delicious and health-conscious diet.
