Steamed fish soy sauce is actually a type of soy sauce. Its main ingredients include water, non-GMO soybeans, wheat flour, salt, sugar, monosodium glutamate, yeast extract, disodium 5'-inosinate, disodium 5'-guanylate, and flavorings.
Besides commercially available products, you can also make your own "zero-additive" version using ingredients such as scallions, ginger, dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, and sugar.
Steamed fish soy sauce is rich in protein and amino acids, as well as vitamins B1, B2, B6, and E, and minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, and iron. Furthermore, some natural antioxidants in soy sauce, such as phenolic compounds and flavonoids, have certain antioxidant effects.
The total nitrogen content affects the flavor of the product. The total bacterial count reflects the hygiene conditions during the production process. Amino acid nitrogen content is one of the key indicators for measuring its umami and quality.
