Not all soy sauces are created equal. You’ve got light soy sauce (salty, thin, perfect for dipping) and dark soy sauce (thicker, sweeter, with molasses vibes). Then there’s tamari, which is made with little or no wheat—great if you’re gluten-free and still want to drown your dumplings in joy.
And have you ever tried sweet soy sauce? It’s called kecap manis from Indonesia, and it’s like the caramel cousin of regular soy sauce. Pour it on grilled anything and thank me later.
