Transform Your Next Bowl Of Ice Cream With One Unexpected Condiment

The internet is full of people claiming to have stumbled upon the latest, greatest innovation in flavor — and recently, some have been topping their ice cream with soy sauce.
In theory, it works — soy sauce's bold, extremely salty flavor profile, rich and dark and packed with umami, contrasts beautifully with the fresh, milky sweetness of ice cream.
Soy sauce pairs well with a nice, simple vanilla. The flavor provides a clean, sweet and palate that'll really allow the bold, salty
flavors of the soy sauce to shine.
As for the soy sauce, consider using Japanese-style shoyu, which has a clean, salty flavor, mild and very subtly sweet. A little goes a long way here, so use it sparingly.
If you fancy something a little more on the sweet side, then Chinese soy sauce is the way to go — specifically dark soy sauce, which has notes
of brown sugar and caramel.
