MAE KRUA Gold Label Light Soy Sauce 700ml
Mae Krua Light Soy Sauce is a Thai light soy sauce produced in Samutprakan, which has been the standard for authentic Thai cuisine for over seventy years. It contains soybeans, wheat flour, salt, and sugar, which gives it its characteristically mild and salty taste – milder than Western soy sauces. It is used in stir-fries, marinades, dipping sauces, and as a versatile seasoning for dishes, especially Thai noodles and rice.
*FLAVOR
The sauce has a distinctly salty profile, but without the harsh aggressiveness characteristic of Asian soy sauces – the sugar present in the recipe softens the raw salt, creating a more balanced taste. Umami from fermented soy is discernible, with depth from sweet molasses notes, almost citrusy freshness. The consistency is light and fluid, allowing the sauce to penetrate dishes evenly without darkening them. The intensity is moderate – sufficient for rich flavoring without overpowering.
*USAGE
The sauce works well wherever salt and umami are needed without dark colors. It is perfect in:
- Pad see ew and pad kee mao (drunken noodles) – traditional Thai noodle street foods
- Stir-fries with vegetables, poultry, or meat – especially with broccoli, pak choi, asparagus
- Marinades for meat and fish – as a base along with garlic and chili
- Coconut and buttermilk soups – as a subtle seasoning without changing the color
- Fried rice – instead of traditional fish sauce for a vegetarian version
- Dipping sauces – mixed with chili, lime, and garlic
*STORAGE
Store the bottle in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight and moisture – typical kitchen cabinet conditions are ideal. After opening, store the tightly sealed sauce in the refrigerator, where it remains fresh for several months. Avoid storing at room temperature for extended periods after opening, as heat can affect the quality of the flavor.
