Kokubushi, made using rice, wheat, and soybeans is the most basic form of soy sauce. These ingredients are put through a complex process of fermentation using rice malt mold, lactic acid, and yeast to make soy sauce.

The main ingredient in miso is soybean, mixed with koji (rice malt) or salt for fermentation. Unlike soy sauce, the mold or other microorganisms function differently under different climate, thus the miso of each region has a different taste.

Depends on how they're prepared. Roasted soybeans, dont need to be refrigerated. Fresh beans or canned beans do need to be stored and only stay fresh for about 2-3 days. If they're fresh- edamame- they also need to be refrigerated and can be frozen for a while. They key to making sure they're fresh is smell. If they smell off, don't eat them.

Why does soy sauce melt ice?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Any hot liquid will melt ice, so if you heat it up it would work. I suspect it also has a fairly high salt content, which will react and melt the ice. As far as the Scoville Units, they only burn tongues, not ice.

Soy sauce is mostly soy protein and salt in water- it might raise your blood pressure for a while, but assuming you're in reasonably good health, and presuming it wasn't a ridiculously large amount, your liver will filter it out after a short while. Considering you don't have an allergy to any ingredients of it.

If you have eaten asparagus your urine will stink pretty bad but also if you are not drinking enough water your urine will be so concentrated that makes it reek too.

Asparagus makes your urine smell musty because it contains an enzyme that most humans can't break down in their digestive system. The enzyme isn't harmful, just smells bad ,and is filtered out by your kidneys and eliminated through urination.

Is soy sauce gluten-free?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Most commercial soy sauce is NOT gluten-free due because it contains wheat.

Look at the ingredient label. Most brands will list "wheat" as an ingredient.

The brands that do not list wheat as an ingredient are gluten-free.
However, even soy sauce made with wheat can be gluten free; because the enzymes produced during the natural fermentation destroy the gluten. Soya.be tested some naturally brewed soy sauces and found no detectable levels of gluten. The lab report can be found http://www.soya.be/gluten-free-soy-sauce.php.

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Fermented soybeans, wheat, water, and salt are the main ingredients in soy sauce. The best sauces are then "brewed," through an aging and fermenting process that lasts months before reaching store shelves. Some commercial products are produced in a matter of days through the use of chemicals. These are less expensive, but the taste may also reflect added ingredients.
