January 2017 Recipe ReDux Sponsored Challenge: Sodium Saving, Flavor Raising Recipes with Kikkoman
Take a favorite dish that you, your family and/or friends love and swap soy sauce for salt. Can they taste the difference?

Cooks know that most dishes need a salty taste to create a good flavor balance. You can add various salts like Kosher salt, sea salt or table salt directly. Using these salts will raise the sodium level of the dish. That’s something to keep in mind when planning healthy meals.

You can cut the amount of sodium in your dish with soy sauce and still retain that salt component to bring out the flavor.

Here are some interesting facts about soy sauce.

  • By using 1/2 tsp. Kikkoman Soy Sauce in place of 1/2 tsp. table salt, the sodium content of the recipe is cut by 1000 mg.
  • Soy sauce is rich in umami, a savory taste that helps round out the overall flavor of a dish and enhances the palatability of a wide variety of foods. In fact, a study published in the Journal of Food Science revealed that swapping soy sauce for salt reduces the sodium by up to 50% without decreasing consumer acceptance.

For over 300 years, Kikkoman Soy Sauce has been seasoning all of our lives.

Shrimp Cakes

 

I chose to make my Shrimp Cakes by switching out the salt with Kikkoman Less Sodium Soy Sauce. Shrimp has a natural briny taste that breaks up when cooked so I still add a bit of salt. Kikkoman Less Sodium Soy Sauce was the perfect amount of flavor to round out my dish. We were pleasantly surprised that the patties retained the flavor we love without the salt. The soy sauce blended great with the other ingredients.

Enjoy!
