Simple Truth Organic Reduced Sodium Tamari Sauce
What it is
It is brewed with less sodium than traditional soy sauce, making it a lighter option for flavor enhancement. The organic certification indicates that the soybeans and other ingredients are grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. Tamari is known for its rich, umami flavor profile and smooth texture.
How people cook with it
Tamari is a versatile ingredient that can be used in a wide variety of dishes to add depth and savory notes.
- Marinades for meats and vegetables
- Stir-fry sauces
- Dipping sauce for sushi
- Seasoning for soups and stews
In cooking, tamari can be incorporated at various stages. It is excellent as a base for marinades, where its fermented soybean flavor helps tenderize and infuse proteins. When making stir-fries, it adds a foundational savory element that complements other ingredients. It can also be whisked into dressings or used as a finishing touch to brighten up finished dishes. For a simple dip, it can be served on its own or mixed with other seasonings like ginger or garlic.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to traditional soy sauce, tamari is typically thicker and has a more pronounced umami taste. The reduced sodium version offers a similar flavor profile with a lower salt content.
How to keep the rest
After opening, store the tamari sauce in a cool, dark place, such as a pantry. Ensure the cap is tightly sealed to maintain freshness and prevent oxidation. Refrigeration is not typically required but can help preserve the flavor for an extended period.
