Date: January 16th, 2026 7:32 PM Author: Thriller emerald hell kitty Light soy sauce is for salt. Dark is for color and subtle flavor.
If this is supposed to be a honeypot for Asians, you're going to get a lot of false positive cookingmos |

Date: January 16th, 2026 7:48 PM Author: flatulent field striped hyena I’m genuinely curious about the sauces (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5822963&forum_id=2\u0026mark_id=5309370#49595226) |

Date: January 16th, 2026 10:40 PM Author: Exhilarant point lettuce It's not subtle in flavor. It adds substantial umami. Great for making things deliciously savory without blowing the salt content into the stratosphere or making the food taste "Asian" (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5822963&forum_id=2\u0026mark_id=5309370#49595669) |

Date: January 17th, 2026 10:32 AM Author: Thriller emerald hell kitty Agreed, but a flavor that is not "cheese" or "mint" is subtle to noncookmos. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5822963&forum_id=2\u0026mark_id=5309370#49596208) |

Date: January 16th, 2026 7:54 PM Author: ivory set rigpig I understand it the same way as rear naked choke tp. “Light soy sauce” is normal soy sauce with the salt and umami and flavor. Dark soy is more of a coloring agent, you add a dash along with light soy when you want eg fried noodles with a rich dark color. (not azn but have messed around plenty trying to make azn food) |

Date: January 17th, 2026 11:22 AM Author: floppy pit tank its ying and yang for soy sauce. light v dark. thinner v thicker. saltier v sweeter. sooner v later.
light (what most westerners know as regular) soy sauce in chinese translates as "fresh extract." it is pressed from recently fermented soybeans. in cooking, it is typically added earlier in the cooking process as it will darken over time with heat.
dark soy sauce in chinese translates as "old extract." it is pressed from soybeans that have been fermented much longer. in cooking, it is typically added later in the cooking process. recipes that you see where light and dark are mixed together to form a marinade are garbage and wrong. dark soy sauce should be used as a finisher in fast wok cooking, much like sesame oil. |

Date: January 17th, 2026 5:57 PM Author: flatulent field striped hyena Interesting. Is there dark soy sauce that doesn’t use caramel coloring (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5822963&forum_id=2\u0026mark_id=5309370#49597277) |

Date: January 17th, 2026 8:55 PM Author: floppy pit tank among chinese soy sauces, no. chinese dark soy sauces will always have either caramel or molasses which gives it that sweeter darker profile. chinese dark soy sauces may also be called black soy sauce, and even double black soy sauce, but that is just the amount of caramel or molasses in the soy sauce.
the SE asian countries have an entire soy sauce lineup in the dark profile that i am less familiar with. my wife is thai and she uses a dark soy sauce that is based on palm sugar which is a different sweet profile than sugarcane. thais like to use palm sugar a lot. i had never encountered palm sugar until i met my wife. she also uses a mushroom flavored soy sauce, and a brand called maggi which best i can describe as a light smoky soy sauce. |
