That's why you keep coming back.

Surprisingly, and contrary to my initial expectation, they don't use soy sauce all that much in Asia. There is often some soy sauce at the table at many Chinese restaurants but I never see anyone using them.

Isn't it considered something of an insult to the chef if you add soy sauce. Like asking for A-1 at Ruth's Chris?

Soy sauce is basically liquid salt. So I guess it's OK for anything you would want to add liquid salt to. It's not disgusting, IMO, but it's not very useful either. Outside of sushi, when I use it sparingly, I never use it.

Probably to some chefs in the same way that adding salt is. You're basically saying it isn't seasoned well.

I use soy sauce in place of salt with asian food and of course with sushi mixed with wasabi. It has its place.

We cook with it quite a bit - esp in stir fry. I make a pork roast this weekend with soy sauce and garlic, and it was awesome. Some of my favorite marinades are soy sauce based.

I am somewhere in the middle. Tabasco has made one that isn't bad. Most of the time I just use the chicken hot sauce stuff for chineese

New rule, anyone who hates soy sauce is not allowed to eat kimchi.

I'm comfortable with not being able to eat kimchi again for the rest of my life, regardless of my stance on soy sauce.
