I’m SOY into Dark Soy sauce!

What’s the deal with Light/Regular Soy Sauce and Dark Soy Sauce?

Growing up, we didn’t use a lot of Dark Soy Sauce but as an adult, I can’t image my life without it. Although contrary to the name Light Soy Sauce is actually more saltier than dark. Thus, making it more useful for adding seasoning and flavor onto a dish when used.

Dark Soy Sauce on the other hand, is darker and slightly sweeter in flavor. It’s less salty and is used to impart a deeper and darker color to meats when cooked. I also use it as a shortcut to give my braised meats some color and boy, does it work every time!

I definitely think Lee Kum Kee is one of my favorite brands for sauces when it comes to Asian cuisine. I’ve used it for years growing up as did my parents and even my grandparents. As a thank you for everyone’s support, @lkkusa is sponsoring a giveaway on their page featuring their new “What’s your soy sauce match?” Check out their page to enter!

My match ended up being no other than @lkkusa Premium Dark Soy Sauce! So today, I’m going to be sharing with you an easy one using my favorite vessel…an airfryer! Shocking huh?

Let me know your thoughts and until next time!
