These soy sauce recipes prove that you should always have the condiment on hand. Soy sauce can be used in a variety of ways, including marinades and dipping sauces. The condiment can often be high in sodium, so if that’s a concern for you, look for a low-sodium version. Or if you’re gluten-free, look for tamari instead. Recipes like Crispy Scallops with Soy Dipping Sauce and Soy-Glazed Sweet Potatoes are flavorful, healthy and make the most of a versatile ingredient.
