Cooking Features

- Soy sauce is salty, so the salt is not put into the marinade when it is used. If you use complex seasonings, choose those that do not include salt. In addition, use the sauce itself only in the amount indicated in the recipe: if you pour too much sauce, the kebab will be salty.
- Soy sauce in itself softens meat fibers quite well, so it does not need any addition. But still, in most cases, spices, herbs, herbs, and sour foods are added to the marinade, accelerating the marinating process. Most often it is wine or lemon juice, but there may be other ingredients.
- Marinated meat with soy sauce is marinated quickly, but not instantly. Pork can be fried in 3-4 hours, for lamb and beef, this time should be increased, for chicken or turkey - reduced. A more accurate pickling time is usually indicated in a particular recipe.
