Soy Sauce

Soy Sauce
(Soy Sauce) Soy sauce is a traditional ingredient in many Chinese recipes.  However, soy sauce does have a high salt content, which people on reduced salt diets should be aware of.  We have found that a little soy sauce is also an excellent addition to sauces and marinades.  There are several flavors of soy sauce, and most larger super markets carry several brands.  Select the one that is most pleasing to you.  See the nutritional chart below.

Vegan FlagThe above recipe is in keeping with God's creation intent (Genesis 1:29-31): 'Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground-- everything that has the breath of life in it-- I give every green plant for food." And it was so. God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.' (NIV) Let no animal suffer or die that we may live!
