Soy sauce is an indispensable seasoning in Chinese cooking, while dark soy sauce and light soy sauce are two different types of soy sauce, each with its own uses and characteristics in cooking.
In the soy sauce production process, "pumping" is a key step, which refers to the process of extracting and filtering the soy sauce through specific piping equipment after the soy sauce is fermented. This process separates the impurities and moisture from the soy sauce, and at the same time further concentrates the aroma and umami in the soy sauce, making the soy sauce more rich and mellow.
Let's take a closer look at their differences and how to use them:
On the basis of light soy sauce, dark soy sauce is further processed using special processes and raw materials, so it has a darker color and a richer flavor. Because of its dark color, dark soy sauce is suitable for dishes that need to be colored, such as braised pork and sauced beef, which need bright colors to attract people's appetite. Moreover, the dark soy sauce has a stronger flavor, which can add a unique aroma and texture to the dish and make the dish more delicious.
Light soy sauce has a salty flavor that adds to the umami flavor of food. Light soy sauce is suitable for cold dishes, pickled foods, etc., it can make the raw materials delicious and make the dishes more delicious. Light soy sauce can also be used to dip foods, such as seafood, vegetables, etc., to add umami and deliciousness to food.
We need to choose according to the actual situation, if we want the dish to be bright in color and rich in taste, we can choose dark soy sauce, if we want the dish to be delicious and light in taste, we can choose light soy sauce. When we use it, we can also adjust the proportion and method of use according to our own tastes and preferences, so that the dishes are more suitable for our tastes.
