✨ Lee Kum Kee Dark Soy Sauce for Rich Colour and Round Umami

Lee Kum Kee dark soy sauce is a Chinese-style seasoning with a deeper colour and a fuller, slightly sweeter soy profile than light soy sauce. It’s ideal when you want dishes to look glossy and richly browned while keeping that familiar savoury umami aroma.

Use it in small amounts to deepen colour in stir-fries, braises and noodle dishes, or to round out dipping sauces. For best balance, pair it with light soy sauce or salt when you need more salinity, and add it toward the end of cooking to preserve its aroma.

✅ Key features

  • Adds deep mahogany colour and a glossy finish—great for restaurant-style results at home
  • Typically less about sharp saltiness and more about colour and rounded flavour than light soy sauce, so it’s easy to layer both
  • A little goes a long way: start with a small splash and adjust to avoid overpowering the dish
  • Works especially well with caramelised flavours (garlic, ginger, onions) in stir-fries and quick pan sauces
  • Convenient 500 ml size for regular cooking without taking up much pantry space

🍽️ How to use

  • Stir-fry: add 1–2 teaspoons near the end for colour on vegetables, tofu, chicken or pork
  • Braised dishes: mix into the braising liquid for richer colour in soy-braised eggs, mushrooms or belly-style stews
  • Noodles & fried rice: toss in a small splash for a darker, more appetising look without making it overly salty
  • Marinades: combine with garlic, ginger and a touch of sugar or honey for a lacquered finish
  • Dipping sauce: blend with light soy sauce, rice vinegar and chilli for a balanced dip 🌶️

✨ Final touch

Did you know dark soy sauce is often used more for colour and a rounded sweetness than for saltiness, which is why many recipes pair it with light soy sauce?

Do not rely solely on the information provided for the product in our online store! Although we strive to always have up-to-date information on our products, the manufacturer may change the recipe and thus the composition. Always check the information directly on the product packaging, especially if you are on a special diet. Keep in mind that even foods that do not list allergens in their ingredients may still contain some. For example, in the case of gluten, a food containing up to 20 mg/kg of gluten is considered gluten-free and can be labeled as such. Up to 50 mg/kg of gluten is considered a trace amount, and labeling as gluten-free and information about trace amounts is voluntary.

We only sell long-life products that do not require special conditions. However, these are still food products, and when shopping online, it is important to remember that a few days in a box in the sun or, conversely, in the cold can have a negative effect on the quality of the food purchased.

Pay attention to the expiration date and type of shelf life.
Use by/expiration date = after this date, it is not safe to eat the food.
Best before = after this date, the quality may decline, but consumption is usually safe if the packaging is intact and the food still smells and tastes good.
