Soy sauce

Vegetables Putting some vegetables would make the taste of the sauce much better.
(This time, I used carrot, scallions, asparagus, garlic, celery and potato. However, be aware that some of the vegetables can increase the amount of carbs in the meal. Except potato, the rest of the ingredients will not add much carbs. As potato contains too much carbs, it is not recommended.)
