Recipes with Soy sauce
10 recipes
There are 10 recipes here that use Soy sauce, and every one of them is scored against what is actually in your fridge before it is shown. The quickest is Bean Sprouts with Tofu at 12 minutes; the longest, Rice Cooker Chicken Rice, takes 50. 8 of them finish in twenty minutes or less, which is usually what matters on a weeknight.
None of these need an oven, an air fryer, or a microwave — a stove and a pan is enough. 2 are vegetarian. 5 have no chili at all, so they work for children.
Soy sauce turns up most often alongside Oyster sauce, Cornstarch, Onion and Spring onion — if you have one or two of those as well, more of this list becomes cookable tonight rather than after a shopping trip. Add what you have to your fridge and the recipes reorder themselves around it, with anything missing collected into a shopping list.
