We’ve been on the hunt for an everyday thick soy sauce, since it’s a staple pantry ingredient in Taiwanese cooking. Sweeter and thicker than standard soy sauce (thanks to the addition of sugar and, in this case, fermented rice), it’s a condiment to use straight from the bottle, but also great in marinades and glazes. This one is smooth and glossy, while remaining not too thick or cloying. The roasty, toasty fermented soy flavor mingles with salty and savory notes, balanced by a judicious touch of sugar. We love how it’s rich, but doesn’t feel heavy or molasses-thick. We’re working on building out our everyday selection of pantry staples for specific cuisines, beyond the things that have become overly common, and this soy sauce does the trick.
