What's the appeal?

[Anonymous No.10764126]

Sometimes I like to drink my salt, instead of licking it out of my palm

700mg of sodium per tablespoon.

Liquid salt is great for steamed meat buns.

I need it for fried rice and pepper chicken.

Chinese here. Can't fathom why wh*toids put this shit on rice of all things.

Better question: Which brand is best? I only have experience with Kikkoman and La Choy, and I definitely prefer Kikkoman of the two. I am thinking of picking up some dark soy sauce the next time I go to the Asian market so that I can make some hong shao rou.

I've only ever seen rice+soy sauce in the Philippines

Kikkoman low sodium. Don't get memed by muh authentic soy sauces, it's usually low quality garbage

You can't be serious. Have you ever eaten at a Chinese place in the US?

draw your own conclusions

A combination of factors
Whites generally don't like eating plain rice
Whites use forks, so adding soy sauce and killing the ability to eat it with chop sticks doesn't affect them much
Nobody told them not to

For me the main appeal has been using it sparingly while sauteing chicken. It is more tolerable when cooked down because of how it reduces. I literally have zero fucking idea why anyone would ever use it on a finished meal though, uncooked soy sauce is disgusting.

[Anonymous No.10764322]

>>10764199
because plain rice tastes like nothing?

[Anonymous No.10764336]

>>10764322
Put Sriracha or plum sauce or sweet chili sauce or something on it, instead of that salty bitter garbage water.

Why?

It really depends on purpose but try out Yamasa.

[Anonymous No.10764890]

>>10764199
I'd never use it for white rice or anything, but I do use it when reheating Chinese takeout fried rice, which seems to dry out in the fridge.

[Anonymous No.10765011]

>>10764212
If you like Kikkoman because its thick and salty than stick with that. Yamasa is a little thinner and less salty. I cant fucking stand the shit and I only have it in my trucks medical box since Yamasa doesn't make a small size portable soy sauce.

[Anonymous No.10765036]

>>10765011
I've never seen Yamasa sold in large bottles, that one I posted here >>10764844 is only 5 fl oz and is a pretty small bottle. Maybe you're mixing that up with some other brand.

[Anonymous No.10765064]

>>10764337
I thought about both manty and the chinese ones.

[Anonymous No.10765071]

>>10765011
Yamasa also makes little packets of soy sauce, I've only seen those in Korean buffet take out places so those might be only sold wholesale. They're the same size as the packets of fake soy sauce and duck sauce that are thrown into Chinese take out bags.

Fun fact, Kikkoman is dark, it's just also Nippon where dark is equivalent to a Chink light. For dark though, Pearl River Bridge. Lee Kum Kee as well as Pearl make excellent lights for cheap, but imo Pearls dark is much better.

Actually try out one of their lights, you can buy a big bottle of it for less than a tiny bottle of Kikko, and honestly I think I slightly prefer the Chink lights.
