What it is
This is a light soy sauce, a staple condiment in many Asian cuisines. It is made from fermented soybeans, wheat, salt, and water. Light soy sauce is known for its savory umami flavor and its reddish-brown color. It is thinner in consistency compared to dark soy sauce. This sauce adds depth and complexity to dishes without imparting a strong color.
