What is soy sauce?

What is soy sauce, really?

And it is a sauce.

List of things I do not understand:

1) Why the phone always rings when I get into the tub.

2) How to get vlc 2.21 installed.

3) Soy sauce.

4) How Agnishom solved that problem.

Re: What is soy sauce?

1) Why Agnishom thinks he is schizophrenic.

2) The difference between here and there.

3) Why P or NP matters and why people care.

4) That graph theory problem.

Re: What is soy sauce?

I do not see a lot of things others see. Also, I do not understand a lot of things others understand, the evidences of which are these lists.

1. Why was there a very low entropy state in the beginning.

2. Why people worry about other people.

3. A third bottle of Soya Sauce

4. If njwildberger is a genius

4) He is probably not.

2) Because they are sensitive.

3) 1 bottle is enough.

Re: What is soy sauce?

hi Agnishom,

Just catching up.  It is (according to Sainsbury's):

water
sugar
soy sauce
soy beans
salt
wheat
more salt
caramel
lactic acid
potassium sorbate


Now that is interesting.  It has an infinitely recursive ingredient and Sainbury's has an unnecessary apostrophe.

I wonder how they make it with such an ingredient, and whether they've thought of selling a perpetual motion machine.

Bob

note: Sainbury's is a UK supermarket chain.

ps. re: post 4.  Three of those might be achievable , but I'd wouldn't advise trying to understand girls.  smile

Re: What is soy sauce?

Used to buy my soy sauce from Sainsbury's (they offer that meal deal thing where you can buy a sauce, noodles and a packet of veg for £3 for at least 2 people, i.e. one student), but I found I had to use so much of it to get the colour and flavour I wanted. I like the Amoy brand better because of that, it's sometimes on offer for £1 or something.

Re: What is soy sauce?

Hi bob;

Thank you for investigating. I knew it would be mysterious.

How well can you cook?

Re: What is soy sauce?

My cooking skills are low to the point of being dangerous.  I've managed to ruin both components in 'beans on toast' and also had a chip pan fire.

Re: What is soy sauce?

A chip pan is a deep pan you use to deep fry things in. It's a portable, home-use version of what you might see employees using in a fried chicken shop to fry chips in (they put them in a metal basket and slowly lower them into the oil). You can fry other things aside from chips with a chip pan.

Re: What is soy sauce?

My fire was worse than that.  The hot fat spilled over the pan onto the square hob and so there were even more flames.  I blew it out with a big puff.  Once I'd let the smell out and cleaned the carbon off the wall, you wouldn't have known it had happened.  This is why I think it's best if I stay away from all cooking (until the eating stage of course).
