"After A YEAR of fermentation, the soy sauce is ALMOST ready" 😮👏

Its honestly amazing to think people came up with these methods for sauces. Not just this but a lot of the flavor enhancers in the world

That flour is koji rice flour, not wheat flour

How they came up with soy sauce 2500yrs ago is amazing. Why would anyone think mouldy soy beans would taste good?

[doodskie]

Also, authentic soy sauce tastes a bit sweet and not salty. If they werent that expensive, I would buy it every week!

First person to make it had ADHD. left that shit for a year, came back to it and said "I wonder..." now we have soy sauce. 😂😂

I remember my mom bringing us to ine of her old friends at a traditional soy sauce manufacturer like this. It was impressive to see all the big clay pots in various stages of developement. This was almost 42 years ago and i was almost 3 years old. So cool that this still excists now ❤

Look at what humans achieved when they didn’t have distractions

[KSkrode]

if the soy sauce making process seems complicated and kind of weird to you, go look up how Worcestershire sauce is made

And now it goes on my rice and sushi whenever I go to the Chinese buffet. Bless Asian cuisine

[Travel_w_Bubba]

I would wager that the first person to do this did it on accident and then realized how awesome the taste is

You must adimire the patient and dedication of Chinese people on handcraft. No wonder they are the industrial hub of the world.

One year?!?!?! But the results are absolutely amazing!! I’m Mexican and I’ve fissioned soy sauce and I rarely use salt anymore, why only use salt when you can make the dish go to a higher level using soy sauce! Same applies to many other traditional Chinese cuisine items!

[skalawatz]

I was with you trying to do this myself, until you hit me with “a year later”.

I’ll be headed to the store to buy.

Jesus christ ive been taking this stuff for granted

[dakapil]

Actually chinese accidentally invented soy sauce when a cook forgot about his soybeans and it got mouldy. Trying to salvage it he tried to soak it in salted water to clean the mould off.

The Chinese have mastered everything. I love them for it

[musiqangel]

After a year of fermentation, I would have forgotten that it was there

Thank you! Also, I love that traditional methods are being used.
