This packet is designed for convenience, offering a precise amount for individual use without the need to open a larger bottle. It is a staple in many cuisines, particularly Asian cooking.
How people cook with it

To use, simply tear open the packet along the indicated edge. You can then pour the soy sauce directly onto your food or into a small dish for dipping.
