Part 5/10:
When it comes to flavoring your dish, many home cooks go astray by using the wrong type of soy sauce. While Kikoman soy sauce is excellent, it’s Japanese and may not be suitable for Chinese-style fried rice. Instead, opt for Light Soy Sauce and Dark Soy Sauce—brands like Lee Kum Kee and Pearl River Bridge are widely recommended.
Light soy sauce functions primarily as a seasoning, providing flavor without coloring the dish, while dark soy sauce lends a deeper hue with a slightly sweeter taste. Use both for a well-balanced flavor profile in your fried rice.
