Salmon & Tofu in Shoyu Koji Glaze

No ratings yet
Just Two Seasonings, Endlessly Flavorful
Shoyu koji, a fermented seasoning made with soy sauce and rice koji, brings deep savory flavor to this easy glaze inspired by teriyaki—a classic Japanese sweet-savory sauce with a glossy finish.
Its rich, well-rounded flavor pairs beautifully with meat. For a fully plant-based version, tofu and vegetables alone make a satisfying dish.

SHOYU-KOJI

Shoyu Koji
20.4 oz (580 g)

Our Shoyu Koji is a traditional Japanese condiment made by fermenting koji (rice inoculated with Aspergillus oryzae) with soy sauce to create a versatile liquid seasoning. It has the sharp, nutty aroma of soy sauce, but the flavor is more mellow with a mild sweetness and deep umami that enhances almost any dish. Koji’s natural enzymes help tenderize meat, poultry, and fish, so it makes a fantastic marinade. You can also add it to sauces, stews, stir-fries, and dressings for savory depth and a hint of sweetness.
