Amoy Dark Soy Sauce – 250ml

Amoy Dark Soy Sauce is produced using water, soybeans, wheat flour, sugar, salt, and caramel colouring (E150a), which gives it its signature dark appearance and slightly thicker consistency compared to light soy sauce. It is typically aged to develop a deeper, more rounded flavour profile with subtle sweetness and reduced sharp saltiness.

This sauce is mainly used in Chinese and wider Asian cooking to add colour and depth to dishes such as stir-fried noodles, fried rice, braised meats, and stews. It is particularly effective when used during cooking to give food a rich, glossy finish and enhance visual appeal.

Unlike regular soy sauce, dark soy is not primarily used as a table seasoning. Instead, it is added in small amounts during cooking to build body, deepen flavour, and create the characteristic caramel-brown glaze seen in many Asian dishes.

Amoy is a widely used everyday brand in UK kitchens, offering consistent results for home cooking and takeaway-style recipes.
