What You'll Learn
You will learn what each seasoning contributes, the order to add them, and which brands are worth the extra cost.
Five bottles, most of the cuisine
Sugar, salt, vinegar, soy sauce, and miso. Japanese cooks learn them in that order, and that order is also the order they go into the pot.
Buy small bottles. Soy sauce oxidises once opened and tastes flat after about a month.
Did you know?
The Japanese memory device for seasoning order is sa-shi-su-se-so. It spells out sugar, salt, vinegar, soy sauce, and miso.
Pro Tip
Keep soy sauce in the fridge after opening. It stays dark and fresh for months instead of weeks.
