Asian cuisine has given the world a lot of happiness over the years. It’s filling, comforting and versatile. The various dishes and ingredients can satisfy any cravings whether you’re jonesing for something sweet, savory or spicy.
Soy sauce is one of the most popular elements of a variety of Asian foods. You know the stuff; that delightful dark sauce that you dip foods into or use as an enhancing ingredient.
Soy sauce is made of soybeans and a bunch of other components. It’s primarily known for having a salty flavor profile, but there are other varieties that can be sweet or sour.
The most common types of soy sauce are light (used as a condiment or topper) and dark (a thicker sauce cooked right into the dish). Soy sauces also come in gluten-free and low-sodium versions.
But there’s no reason to save soy sauce only for large meals. You can also add it to your favorite snacks to mix things up! Here are our favorite soy-sauce snacks to consider.
1. Golden Island Korean Barbeque Recipe Pork Jerky
Sweet and savory? Yes, you can have both at the same time! Golden Island Korean Barbecue Pork Jerky is the perfect blend of these two flavors.
This jerky can take taste buds on a journey, and it’s all thanks to our special marinade. It’s a recipe that’s built on a handful of quality ingredients, including soy sauce and brown sugar.
2. Golden Island Korean Barbecue Recipe Snack Bites
If you’re a fan of our pork jerky, you’ll also love our Korean Barbecue Pork Snack Bites. It’s fire-grilled in the same mouthwatering marinade that features soy sauce, sesame, garlic and brown sugar.
The difference is the texture. These snack bites are a little more tender, and they’re shaped in an easy, poppable nugget form. Think of them more like a happy-hour appetizer!
3. Nuts
Mixed nuts are a classic snack food. There are many types of trail mix available, ranging from raw to sugary sweet to flaming hot.
While there are Asian-inspired nut mixes on the market that feature ingredients like soy sauce and wasabi, you can also bake soy sauce into your own concoctions.
Anything goes when it comes to creating homemade trail mix. However, soy sauce lends itself really well to complementary flavors such as honey and brown sugar.
4. Edamame
What could go better with soy sauce than soybeans? Edamame is literally just soybeans that have been boiled and maybe lightly salted. They can also be dehydrated to be more of a chip-like snack.
You can simply drizzle or pour soy sauce over the edamame and enjoy it that way. Or, you could boil the soybeans and then bake them in soy sauce for a crunchier experience.
5. Popcorn
That’s right, we said popcorn. Think about it, people pour liquid butter over their popcorn all the time. Why not swap the butter for soy sauce?
Regular popcorn can be salty, but the flavor isn’t distinct. That’s why it’s the perfect canvas to add a fun flavor like soy sauce over the top of it.
Further additions to this combo could include wasabi, onion powder or garlic salt. The next time you make popcorn and you’re feeling experimental, give it a try!
6. Soy Sauce Dip
Need a good idea for a game day appetizer? Dips have always been a fan favorite when paired with chips and veggies. But you can make a dip with soy sauce instead of your typical fare.
There are plenty of traditional soy sauce dips available. You can also try mixing soy sauce with mayonnaise or cream cheese for a twist.
7. Soy Sauce Eggs
Intriguing, right? You’ve most likely had hard-boiled or deviled eggs before, but this takes them to a whole new level.
They’re prepared the same way at first, but after they’ve been boiled and cooled they’re placed in a marinade of soy sauce and other ingredients.
The eggs soak in this mix for a few hours and absorb the delicious flavors. After this step, the eggs can be served whole, cut up or served in a variety of other ways.
While the soy sauce eggs are good as a solo snack, they’re also great with sides such as Korean Barbecue Pork Bites.
