Black Soy Sauce
 

I was looking over the soy sauce selection at the Asian store and some
Healthy boy Brand "Black Soy Sauce" caught my eye.

It is thickened with molasses, and since I like molasses, I thought it
might be fun.

It is thick enough that if you tilt the bottle, you can't see light
through it for a couple minutes. I would be more tempted to call it
soy flavored molasses, than molasses flavored soy sauce.

It might be too much for me for a dipping sauce. I've tried it on
white and brown rice, some lentils, and a couple vegetable and bean
salads.

I can't place what it would be 'just right' for. Any thoughts on a
recipe that would benefit from the very molasses flavored soy sauce?

I haven't tried cooking with it yet-

Jim

It is used like a food colouring in certain dishes, if regular soy sauce does not give a dark enough colour. So it is not used by itself outside of cooking.
