The difference between soy sauce and light soy sauce:

1. Soy sauce is lighter in color; light soy sauce is darker in color.

2. Soy sauce tastes more salty; dark soy sauce has a fresh, slightly sweet taste.

3. Soy sauce is used for stir-fry or cold dishes; dark soy sauce is used for dishes that need coloring such as braised dishes.

1. Soy Sauce

The word "soy sauce" means "extract", and it is made from soybeans or black beans and flour as the main raw materials, through natural exposure to the sun and fermentation. Soy sauce is reddish-brown in color, with a salty taste and a strong black bean aroma. Because of its light color, it is mostly used for flavoring, and is the best partner for home-style stir-fry or coleslaw.

2. Dark Soy Sauce

Light Soy Sauce is a sublimated version of Dark Soy Sauce, with caramel added on top of Dark Soy Sauce, and is made by a special process to create a richly colored soy sauce that is brown in color, darker in color, and can add color to meat, making it an ideal addition to a variety of richly flavored dishes.

The soy sauce is salty and slightly sweet, with a strong flavor, especially when doing braised dishes or stewing, marinade, adding the appropriate soy sauce, can be colorful and fresh. It should be noted that, when cooking, to make the dishes appear "good-looking", need to be put into the soy sauce earlier, but not too early, otherwise it will reduce the nutritional value of soy sauce, to grasp the "degree".
