Light Soy vs. Dark Soy — What’s the Difference?

• Light soy sauce (生抽): Thin, salty, and umami-rich — the primary seasoning sauce. Use for flavor
• Dark soy sauce (老抽) — this product: Thick, slightly sweet, and used for color and depth — adds the deep, glossy finish to dishes
• Golden rule: Use them together — light soy for salt and umami, dark soy for color and richness

How to Use

• Red-braised pork (Hong Shao Rou): Essential — gives the dish its signature deep mahogany color and glossy coating
• Soy sauce pan-fried noodles: Add ½–1 tsp alongside light soy for color and caramelization
• Marinades: A small amount in beef or pork marinades for color and mild sweetness
• Stews & braises: Add 1–2 tsp to stews or gravy for deeper color and complexity
