soya sauce is fermented soya coloured with caramel and salt is one of its ingredients

I would be interested to know how much salt is contained in 100g of soya sauce. although i think good chinese food rarely needs it. soya sauce is often on the table in chinese restaurants and i ask the more knowledgable of you what dishes do you use it for if any?

soya sauce on the table are for dips or to enhance the flavour to the dishes/meat. salt content in soya sauce varies from brand to brand. some has little or even none. read the label. however, it will not be possible to do so if the sauce jar on the table do not provide the label as it could be filled up from bigger containers. taste it and see whether it is too salty or not. if too salty, dip less. if you think te flavour os good enough, do not dip.

Did you find out how much salt is in soya sauce ?
