Soy sauce reduction is a flavorful, concentrated glaze made by simmering soy sauce, and often a sweetener like honey, brown sugar, or mirin, until it thickens into a rich, syrupy consistency. Originating from Asian cuisine, particularly Japanese and Chinese cooking, it is used to enhance dishes such as stir-fries, roasted vegetables, or grilled proteins with its deep umami flavor. While soy sauce itself is derived from fermented soybeans, wheat, salt, and water, its reduction often includes added sugars, which increase sweetness but also contribute to calorie content. Despite its savory appeal, soy sauce reduction is typically high in sodium, making it less ideal for those watching salt intake. However, it's free of saturated fats and provides a low-calorie option when used sparingly. As a versatile condiment, soy sauce reduction is best appreciated in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
