Soy sauce is a liquid condiment made primarily from fermented soybeans, wheat, salt, and water. Its origins trace back to ancient China, and it is now a staple in many East Asian cuisines, including Japanese, Korean, and Thai. Soy sauce is prized for its rich umami flavor, making it a versatile seasoning for marinades, sauces, stir-fries, and soups. Nutritionally, soy sauce is low in calories but high in sodium, which may be a concern for those monitoring their salt intake. It contains small amounts of protein and amino acids derived from the fermentation process. While traditional soy sauce is brewed naturally over months, some varieties are chemically processed and may have additives. Low-sodium options are available for those seeking a healthier alternative. Despite its high salt content, soy sauce offers a depth of flavor that enhances dishes without the need for additional fats or heavy seasonings.
