Soy Sauce Recipes
Soy Sauce Recipies Virtually all soy sauce has some alcohol added during bottling, which acts as a preservative to protect against spoilage. Soy sauce should always be kept refrigerated and out of direct light. An opened bottle of soy sauce that has been left unrefrigerated could become slightly bitter. Although there are many types of soy sauce, all are salty and earthy-tasting brownish liquids used to season food while cooking or at the table. What some westerners can only describe as a flavorful, kind of sweet taste is a distinct basic taste called umami by the Japanese and "xi?n wèi" (??, ?? lit. "fresh taste") by the Chinese. Umami was first identified as a taste in 1908 by Kikunae Ikeda of the Tokyo Imperial University. The monosodium glutamate (MSG) which naturally occurs in soy sauce is what gives it this taste quality.
