Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What's the difference between dark soy sauce and regular (light) soy sauce? A: Dark soy sauce is aged longer and brewed for a deeper colour, richer flavour and subtle sweetness, making it ideal for braising and adding colour, while light soy sauce is used more for everyday seasoning.

Q: Is this soy sauce suitable for vegans? A: Yes — Lee Kum Kee Premium Dark Soy Sauce is vegan, non-GMO and made without MSG.

Q: Can I use dark soy sauce as a substitute for regular soy sauce? A: It can be used in many dishes, but because it's richer and adds more colour, it's best used where a deeper flavour and darker appearance are wanted, such as braises, stews and fried rice.

Q: How should I store it after opening? A: Shake well before use and store in a cool, dry place to keep it fresh for longer.
