Vietnamese sauce


Soy sauce is made from fermented soy beans mixed with a roasted grain, normally wheat. It is infected with a yeast mold and after fermentation begins, salt is added. Yeast is added for further fermentation and the liquid is left in vats for several months and then filtered.

Light soy sauce is thin, salty and light in flavor and is used as a condiment and in cooking where its light color will not spoil the colors of the ingredients, particularly seafood.

Dark soy sauce is thicker with a full-bodied flavor and is used to add color where needed. Generally it is less salty than the soy sauce.

Sweet soy sauce
is a dark, sweet sauce made with soy sauce, sugar, and malt sugar. It has a distinctive malty taste.
