It’s All In The Sauce
23
What is Roast Beef, Mashed Potatoes and Yorkshire Pudding without Gravy? Boring, for starters… The Chinese knew this 2000 years ago when the first chef squeezed a mass of fermented soya paste and discovered the liquid added zing to the chicken he was stir-frying. Today Soya Sauce is a staple in Chinese cooking and a condiment that should be in every fridge. Recent studies have shown that soya products may not be good for your health after all … Read entire article »
