Dark Chinese soy sauce is a thick soy sauce with a mildly salty essence and a touch of sweet flavor. Made with more brine than regular soy sauce, it is used as both a flavoring and food coloring, giving food a brown or tan color.
 Both light and dark soy sauce are made from fermented soybeans, salt, mold, and sometimes wheat. However, the fermentation process for dark soy takes a little longer and produces a liquid that is thicker and sweeter.
 This Lee Kum Kee premium dark soy sauce is produced using natural, traditional methods that bring out the sauce's dark color and shine. It is perfect for stews and marinades.
