In reply to gary. Soy sauce brands that are available outside China include Pearl River Bridge (珠江桥), Lee Kum Kee (李锦记) Haitian (海天), etc. If a bottle labelled as "soy sauce", you can use it as light soy sauce. Hope this is clear.

In reply to Missy. The soy sauce brands I use most often are Pearl River Bridge (珠江桥), Lee Kum Kee(李锦记) and Haday Haitian (海天). Light soy sauce looks dark too but it has a consistency like water. The dark version has a much thicker consistency.

What brand of light soy sauce do you use?
Do you know if La Choy brand soy sauce is light or dark? It is dark in color but thin as water so I’m confused.

In reply to Jessica Loughlin. Black soy sauce (or double black soy sauce) is another variety which has a thicker consistency and sweeter taste (because of the molasses) than dark soy sauce. However, in most cases it's fine to use black soy sauce as a substitute for dark soy sauce.

What about Black soy sauce? I have a bottle of it and I just noticed the ingredients contains molasses, so it’s a dark soy? Thank you!

In reply to Monique. Hi Monica! If it's not specified, it should be light soy sauce (regular soy sauce). Have a great day you too!
