Kikkoman soy sauce in 100-ml pouch

MANILA, Philippines - While most of us have mastered cooking adobo, little do we know that the kind of toyo we use plays a big role in creating truly delectable adobo.

“Anyone who cooks must learn the difference between a naturally-derived and chemically-produced soy sauce,” says chef Portia Baluyot, owner of Isabelo Garden Restaurant.

“Artificial soy sauces are actually a mix of corn syrup, salt, caramel coloring, and other additives, unlike naturally brewed ones where enzymes organically dissolve proteins and produce a natural flavor and aroma,” adds chef Portia. “Naturally brewed soy sauce has a clear reddish-brown color while those that are chemically manufactured are way darker.”

So as not to compromise the quality and taste of adobo or any other dishes cooked in soy sauce, she recommends the use of naturally brewed soy sauce, like Kikkoman Soy Sauce. Its natural brewing process produces a soy sauce that provides tasteful harmony through the combination of the four basic flavors of sweet, sour, salty, bitter, plus umami.

Kikkoman has been serving a lot of families worldwide by providing them a basic cooking ingredient that helps them create delightful dishes, and in order to make this tasteful harmony available to more Filipinos, the company made Kikkoman Soy Sauce available in pouches.

Kikkoman Soy Sauce in 100-ml pouches is available at leading supermarkets and grocery stores nationwide.
