🧾 What is it?
PRB (Pearl River Bridge) light soy sauce 150 ml is a classic Chinese light soy sauce — a liquid seasoning used in both Asian and international cuisine, particularly for flavouring, dips or marinades. ❗️‘Light’ (in English, ‘light soy sauce’) does not here refer to a low salt content, but to a lighter colour and a less sweet flavour profile than dark soy sauce; its taste is salty, umami and aromatic.
