Tangy bread made with a natural starter. Although the initial process is time-consuming, preparing sourdough bread can become simple and easy. Soy bens are used to make a host of soy products, including tofu. Lower in salt and flavor than other soy sauce. Most common soy sauce.
Japanese soys contain much more wheat flour and sugar.
Buy in larger quantities in a Japanese market. It is cheaper that way and it will keep well if kept sealed. It's very bland in comparison to other winter squash. Cut it in half and scrape out the strands, toss with sauce or butter and seasonings, or make into pancakes as you would grated zucchini. Good for baking.
