What it is
This is a popular bottled sauce that combines the savory taste of soy sauce with the sweetness of sugar and other flavorings. It is a ready-to-use condiment designed to add a rich, umami flavor to a variety of dishes. The sauce has a thick consistency, making it suitable for both marinating and glazing.
How people cook with it
This versatile sauce is a staple for adding a distinct flavor profile to many meals. It works well with both meats and vegetables.
- Marinade for grilled meats
- Glaze for roasted chicken
- Dipping sauce for appetizers

To marinate, pour the sauce over chicken, beef, pork, or fish and let it sit for at least 30 minutes, or longer for deeper flavor. It can also be brushed onto food during the last few minutes of grilling or baking to create a delicious glaze. For stir-fries, add a few tablespoons towards the end of cooking to coat ingredients. It can also be served directly as a dipping sauce.
