Dark Soy Sauce: A Must-Have Kitchen Condiment
Many people love to use soy sauce in their recipes, but they overlook the significance of 老抽 in their pantry. I’m a Chinese cuisine freak and prefer 老抽 over regular soy sauce due to various reasons. Dark soy sauce is thicker and darker to some extent than light soy sauce. Like light soy sauce, it is used to flavor numerous recipes, but more importantly, it’s used to darken the color of fried rice and noodles. I like to use Desly food’s dark soya sauce to bring umami in my boring colorless dishes.
Here I’m going to share some straightforward ideas to use Desly’s 老抽
- You can use 老抽 to bring dark amber color in stir-fries like Beef & Broccoli fried vegetable rice and noodles. You can bring fantastic colors to Supreme Soy Sauce Fried Rice and Cantonese Pan-fried Noodles. In short, if you are feeling your dish is lacking the color or not looking attractive; add few drops dark soya sauce to bring zing in your recipes.
- If you are running out of brown sauce, use the less quantity of 老抽 to bring the exact color to your favorite dish.
- You can use 老抽 for making different salad dressings. You can combine Desly’s dark soy sauce mayonnaise and Desly’s chili garlic sauce to make a tasty dip or salad dressing.

In my opinion, making 老抽 at home is complicated, and you can’t get the desired taste and color. Desly’s dark soy sauce is a hassle-free option to save both money and time.
A little bit of Desly’s dark soy sauce goes a long way in flavoring marinades, brines, and all kinds of dips. Many other brands of dark soy sauce claimed reduced-sodium but contain so much salt, Desly’s dark soy sauce really has less sodium with premium ingredients and a peculiar taste.
