Single-conversion pages for soy sauce
Working with soy sauce
Soy Sauce sits in the liquids group, where the ingredient is denser than water, so a cup weighs more than 240 g and volume errors translate into large weight errors. The high salt content makes soy sauce denser than water. Light and dark soy differ only slightly.
If you are converting a whole recipe rather than a single line, the Recipe to Metric converter matches every ingredient to its own density in one pass, and the Recipe Scaler resizes the batch first so you only convert once.
