Someone just gave me Chex mix that’s been seasoned with soy sauce and furikake and now I like Chex mix.

@catsalad @jovikowi @skinnylatte oh I'm not sure if that means stuff here in the u.s. or Europe is good outside of the Really good stuff you'll find at a specialty market. But that's the definitive step up from low sodium stuff, which I think is definitionally all the fake kind.

I have a family curry recipe that is basically curried tomatoes.
It only occurred to me recently that it's not far off chicken tika masala. Just doesn't have the yogurt in.

@halla @skinnylatte is Pearl River bad? It's what we usually buy here, and what my Chinese mother-in-law recommended (though perhaps she couldn't get any better where they lived?).

@skinnylatte Does kikkoman count as “good” soy sauce?

@skinnylatte have you had hurricane popcorn? https://onolicioushawaii.com/hurricane-popcorn/

@aetataureate @catsalad @jovikowi yeah just look for ‘naturally brewed or naturally fermented’ on the label. And no ‘hydrolyzed soy’. My standard one is Lee Kum Kee ‘premium’ or ‘first draw’ light soy sauce but lots of Japanese ones are good too.

@chad I’ve made it often without knowing the name.
It’s definitely the flavor profile I prefer

@skinnylatte @aetataureate @catsalad @jovikowi I like Lee Kum Kee too, but my first love is Yamasa, and San-J is fine in a pinch.
The other thing to note is that shoyu and "soy sauce" are supposed to be different. Shoyu has a lighter flavor, is gluten free, and is meant for use after cooking, while what most Americans know as soy sauce has wheat added, and is heavier, so it holds up better under high heat.

@LinuxAndYarn @aetataureate @catsalad @jovikowi most shoyu does contain wheat, although

@jovikowi @catsalad generally I would not buy soy sauce from a store that isn’t a Asian grocer. Same in U.S. and in Europe. In lots of places you can get proper soy sauce but only at Asian stores. Even the Safeway / Whole Foods stuff, is kind of basic if they have it at all. I want like a whole range of good soy sauce. My rule of thumb is if it’s in the ‘ethnic aisle’, it’s not for me. More so if it has a weird dragon font

@scunneen there are different Kikkomans. Most of them are better than the average one, the blue and white made in Japan one is very good, there is a lower quality export version made elsewhere i am ambivalent about but would still pick over no soy sauce
-
@funguy2playwith I can get that and others at my local store so I’m very thankful

There's more to soy sauce than the Kikkoman you buy at the store.
