About Soy based sauce
Soy-based sauce is a variable sauce category in which soy is a defining basis or component. The label does not establish whether it is fermented, brewed, thickened, sweetened, or combined with other ingredients, and it should not be treated as one fixed recipe.
Such sauces are encountered as condiments or cooking ingredients, commonly in pourable or spoonable form. Their colour, saltiness, savouriness, sweetness, and consistency vary by formulation; no particular style or use can be inferred from the name alone.
