  1. Or make your own soy sauce. there are recipes all over the web, basically just beef broth, vinegar, brown sugar ect. find one you like or have the ingredients for-but definitely be sure to let it sit at least overnight because it really has to develop the flavors or it stays very vinegary. (if that’s a word).😂 I can’t wait to try this recipe…. it sounds absolutely amazing!!!
