ASIAN NOODLE SOUP WITH SAN-J’S CITRUS TAMARI SPLASH

San-J’s Citrus Tamari Splash is a secret weapon in making this incredibly quick and easy soup.

I was recently sent San-J’s Citrus Tamari Splash.  I was delighted because I’d wanted to work with Asian Noodles I’d seen at Trader Joe’s. (If there are no TJs near you, buy them here or substitute frozen or dried Udon noodles.)  But the real star of the show is San-J’s Tamari Splash. It adds a little zip and zing without drowning the soup in sodium. It contains 60% less salt than San-J’s organic tamari but it sure doesn’t skimp on flavor. It packs a punch with yuzu, lemon, and mandarin in one citrusy, ponzu party. Think of it as a go-to sauce when you want to add flavor to everything from grilled fish to a simple salad. It’s flavorful, versatile, and, most importantly, ridiculously easy to use.

San-J has been the authority on Japanese Flavors since 1804

If you have never heard of San-J, here’s a little information. The Sato family has been brewing soy sauce for 8 generations and that’s why their tamari is in a league of its own. What makes it stand out? It’s brewed with 100% soybeans and no wheat, so it’s completely gluten-free. This isn’t your run-of-the-mill soy sauce; we’re talking about deep, complex flavors that come from letting those soybeans do their thing for up to six months. It’s got a high protein content too, which is like the culinary equivalent of a protein shake for your taste buds.

Take a look at all San-J can bring to your kitchen.

San-J has the largest share of the tamari and soy sauce market in the USA. And it’s easy to see why.  They’ve got options for every kind of eater, whether you’re vegan, kosher, watching your sodium, or even avoiding soy altogether. It’s safe to say they’ve got this whole sauce thing figured out. So go ahead, grab a bottle, and get creative—you’ve got centuries of flavor know-how backing you up. Here’s today’s recipe and some other Asian favorites to try.
