If you plan on making Vegan Fried Rice, or if you’re searching for a savory sauce for your veggie roll, you might be wondering, Is Soy Sauce Vegan<\/strong>? While many condiments don’t make it on a plant-based shopping list, this pantry staple is more promising:<\/p>\n \u2705 Yes, most brands of soy sauce are vegan.<\/strong> But, always read the ingredients before purchasing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Soy Sauce<\/strong> is a salty, savory Asian condiment that is popular in countries all over the world. Soy sauce is commonly used in dishes like fried rice and stir-fries, as a table condiment for sushi and dumplings, and a marinade for meat or tofu.<\/p>\n Although there are many different brands of soy sauce, the main ingredients are basically the same.<\/p>\n Because none of these ingredients are derived from an animal source, any product that contains only the basic ingredients listed above is a vegan soy sauce<\/strong>.<\/p>\n However, to be certain that your soy sauce is vegan, you must read the ingredients. Every once in a while, you will stumble upon a seemingly vegan product that in fact contains a hidden animal product.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n When it comes to Asian condiments, there is always one sneaky ingredient you have to watch out for: fish sauce<\/strong>. While it’s rare to find an ingredient like this in soy sauce, I cannot guarantee it won’t happen.<\/p>\n Another tricky ingredient sometimes found in soy sauce that isn’t always vegan friendly is Disodium Insonate<\/strong>. It is a food additive<\/a> used to enhance flavor and can come from either an animal source or from a plant source (tapioca starch). Because companies don’t have to label the source of the disodium insonate, it’s best to stay away from it altogether.<\/p>\n If you are dining at an Asain restaurant, it is especially important to remember to always ask your server if any of your sauces contain fish sauce. Why? Some restaurants may add ingredients to sauces that aren’t found in the original product, and they won’t always disclose this.<\/p>\nWhat is soy sauce?<\/h3>\n
