Soy sauce is a traditional condiment in China. It is a liquid seasoning made of soybean or defatted soybean or black bean, wheat or bran, water and salt. The color is reddish brown, with unique sauce flavor and delicious taste, which helps to stimulate appetite.
Soy sauce is evolved from soy sauce. As early as 3000 years ago, there was a record of making soy sauce in the Zhou Dynasty in China. The brewing soy sauce invented by the ancient working people in China was discovered by accident, and it was a condiment used by the ancient emperors in China.
The earliest soy sauce was marinated with fresh meat, similar to the production process of fish sauce today. Because of its excellent flavor, it gradually spread to the people. Later, it was found that soybeans tasted almost the same and were cheap, so they were widely eaten. In the early days, it spread all over the world with the spread of Buddhist monks.
For example, in Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia, and China, soy sauce manufacturing was a skill and secret recipe handed down from family in the early days. Its brewing was mostly controlled by a master, and its technology was often passed down from generation to generation or passed down by a group of masters, forming a certain brewing method.
