Soy Sauce!
By Laura G. Lee
2025 • Algonquin Young Readers
A joyful picture book for kids and foodies of all ages (with real soy sauce as paint!) that celebrates the iconic kitchen staple and the magical way food connects family and friends across the world.
Salty, savory, rich, and even sweet, soy sauce is as fascinating to make as it is delicious to eat!
Luan makes a classic Chinese soy sauce. Haru uses his own recipe at his family’s traditional Japanese brewery. And Yoo-mi’s Korean soy sauce features special ingredients to make it spicy and sweet.
With unique ingredients that reflect different Asian cultures, and a brewing process that can take years, even decades, soy sauce holds deep meaning and flavorful history in every drop.
Ages 4 to 8, Grades P to 3
