The Thai Prestige Dark Soy Sauce 410G is a type of soy sauce primarily used in Thai cooking (and other Southeast Asian and Chinese cuisines) to add a deep color, richness, and specific flavor profile to dishes.

Key Characteristics of Dark Soy Sauce

Dark oy sauce, in general, has distinct properties compared to light (or regular) soy sauce:

Color: It is significantly thicker and a much darker, almost black color. This deep hue is usually achieved by adding caramel coloring (E150c) and through a longer fermentation process.

Flavor: It is typically less salty than light soy sauce. It often has a slight sweetness and a richer, more complex, and mellow flavor due to the added sugar/molasses and longer aging.

Primary Use: Its main culinary function is to impart an appetizing, deep brown color to stir-fries, braised dishes, and noodle dishes.
