Dark Soy Sauce

Dark Soy Sauce

Everyday

Dark soy sauce is a Chinese condiment distinguished by its intense umami flavor, viscous texture, and deep mahogany color. Produced through extended fermentation of soybeans and wheat with added caramel or molasses, it contains slightly less sodium but more sweetness than regular soy sauce. Primarily used to add rich color and complex depth to braised dishes, stir-fries, and marinades, its concentrated flavor requires smaller quantities to achieve bold seasoning effects.
