Soy Sauce Dip: Measure Soy Sauce and Vinegar with the Same Spoon

Cooking for yourself? This small sauce combines equal amounts of soy sauce and vinegar. Rather than pouring by eye because there are only a few ingredients, measure each with the same household eating spoon. Since the total amount is small, even one extra pour can noticeably change the taste.

Before cooking for one

Start with an ingredient you already have, then check the recipe's full ingredient list, quantities and equipment before choosing your meal. For a solo meal, use its one-serving quantities.

Start with a total of half a household eating spoon of soy sauce and vinegar. This is different from a sauce for tossing an entire bowl of noodles or a dressing for a large salad. It is an amount to mix in a small dipping dish and serve alongside food. If you need more, check the ratio of both ingredients rather than increasing just one.

Ingredients for 1 batch of sauce

  • Soy sauce: 1/4 household eating spoon
  • Vinegar: 1/4 household eating spoon

This is based on the app's ingredient chart for 1 portion. Household eating spoons and pinches are everyday measures and have not been converted to exact grams or milliliters. Check the package size and cup capacity shown in parentheses as well.

Instructions

  • Step 1. Pour the amount of soy sauce specified in the ingredient list into a small dipping dish.
  • Step 2. Measure the vinegar with the same household eating spoon and add it.
  • Step 3. Stir 10 times with the spoon, reaching the bottom of the dish.

Mix Before Serving; Don't Pour Separately

Add the soy sauce, measure and add the vinegar with the same spoon, then stir 10 times, reaching the bottom. This makes it easier to get an even taste in each bite than pouring the ingredients separately over different parts of the food. This recipe contains no oil, so there is no step for making it thick or stirring for a long time to eliminate an oil layer.

Taste It First on a Piece of Tofu

Try a little at a time with tofu or vegetables prepared separately. The taste may vary depending on the type of soy sauce and vinegar. Rather than pouring in all the sauce and adjusting by increasing the amount of food, taste it first on a small piece. The basic sauce contains no sugar or sesame oil, so don't confuse it with a sauce for soy sauce noodles.
