FAQs :

Q: How is soya sauce made?

A: Soya sauce is made through a fermentation process. First, soybeans and wheat (if included) are cooked and then mixed with a specific strain of mold called koji. This mixture is left to ferment for several days or weeks, allowing the enzymes in the koji to break down the proteins and carbohydrates in the soybeans and wheat. The fermented mixture is then combined with salt and water, and the liquid is pressed out. The liquid is aged further to develop its flavor and aroma.

Q: What dishes can be made using soya sauce?

A: Soya sauce is a versatile condiment that can be used in a wide range of dishes. It is commonly used in stir-fries, fried rice, noodle dishes, marinades, soups, and sauces. It adds a savory and umami flavor to meats, vegetables, and tofu. Soya sauce can also be used as a dipping sauce for sushi, spring rolls, dumplings, and other appetizers.

Q: Is soya sauce gluten-free?

A: Traditional soya sauce is typically made with wheat, which contains gluten. However, there are gluten-free varieties of soya sauce available on the market, made with alternative grains like rice or using tamari, which is a Japanese gluten-free soya sauce made solely from fermented soybeans. Individuals with gluten intolerance or celiac disease should look for specifically labeled gluten-free soya sauce options.

Q: How should soya sauce be stored?

A: Soya sauce should be stored in a cool and dark place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Once opened, it should be kept in the refrigerator to maintain its quality and freshness. Properly sealed and stored soya sauce can have a long shelf life, often lasting for several years.
