Today, soy sauce can be found in the kitchen of any housewife: it goes well with almost any dish. And the main problem remains the question: how to properly store soy sauce so that it does not deteriorate ahead of time and does not lose its taste?
Instructions
Step 1
Make it a rule to never leave your soy sauce bottle open. Vacuum is the most trusted flavor protector for many foods, and soy sauce is no exception. Therefore, avoid leaving a bottle of soy sauce without a lid - even while you are using it for cooking or eating. Covering the sauce with a lid, without twisting it all the way, you already protect the product from weathering and premature spoilage. Alternatively, you can pour a little sauce into a special bowl during dinner, and close the bottle and remove it.
Step 2
Keep in mind that the sun's rays contribute to premature spoilage of food, as does air. Therefore, do not store a bottle of soy sauce on a windowsill, even if the window is covered with blackout curtains or blinds. For the same reason, you should not leave soy sauce on the table, as it can deteriorate due to the warm air in the kitchen from the gas stove during cooking.
Step 3
One of the most suitable options for storing soy sauce without spoilage and loss of taste is a cabinet that does not penetrate the sun's rays, as well as warm air and dampness. A dark, cool place is what is needed for the product to be preserved for a long time in the best quality.
Step 4
A great alternative to a kitchen cabinet is a refrigerator. The temperature in the refrigerator, as you know, is much lower, so it is best suited for storing soy sauce: the product will live much longer and will not change in taste even after a long time.
