What is luscious soy sauce as compared to soy sauce?


It is what happens when the marketing guys try to re-brand ordinary soy sauce and add a load of crap no one needs or wants. I'd argue that it isn't even really soy sauce at all.

 

I'm somewhat surprised it is listed as being by Li Kum Kee. Their website doesn't mention it as part of their range, that I can see. The only so-called "Luscious Soy Sauce" I am aware of is the Wei Chuan brand.

 

Ingredients: Water, Soybean (18%), Wheat, Salt, Sugar, Alcohol, Chlorella, Flavour Enhancer (E621, E626, E631).

E621 is MSG, 626 is Guanylic Acid and 631 is Disodium Inosinate. Chlorella is a type of algae.

Happily, I've never come across this so-called "soy sauce" here in China.

I'd stick with the regular stuff.
