Hello, I'm Yau Fan Yea, I'm glad to answer your question.

Everyone usually cooks with soy sauce and light soy sauce, so how to distinguish between light soy sauce and dark soy sauce?

I have come to the following conclusions from my usual contacts and observations:1, the difference in color, the color of the soy sauce is lighter, from the surface of the soy sauce bottle, showing reddish-brown. The color of dark soy sauce is darker, from the old bottle of soy sauce is brown and shiny.

2, the flavor of the difference, soy sauce tastes a kind of salty flavor, old soy sauce tastes a kind of fresh and sweet taste.

3, the difference in usage, soy sauce is generally used for seasoning, because the color is light, so the general stir-fry or seasoning of cold dishes when the use of more. Soy sauce, generally for food coloring with, such as doing braised when the color with more.

4, the different production methods, soy sauce is a soy sauce varieties of soy sauce, soybean, flour as the main raw material, artificial access to the seeds of the song, after the natural dew sun, fermentation formation. It is clear and transparent in character and has a unique flavor. Soy sauce is based on soy sauce, the juice of the soy sauce sun 2 to 3 3 months, after filtering and precipitation that is soy sauce, the quality of its products than soy sauce rich.

How can you tell the difference between soy sauce and dark soy sauce in terms of appearance?

The dark soy sauce is much darker in color, and the liquid that forms on the wall of the bottle when you shake the bottle is thicker, and the black color takes longer to recede. When you shake a bottle of soy sauce, the liquid left on the wall is very light, and the wall returns to its original clarity in 2 seconds, while soy sauce remains opaque under the same circumstances.

The above then, is my daily contact and observation from a few points, I hope to help you.
