Balance the Sweetness of Bottled Barbecue Sauce With Soy Sauce
Store-bought barbecue sauce often contains sugar and corn syrup, making it too sweet for some. A little soy sauce can fix this.
If you can’t make your own barbecue sauce or find your favorite brand in the store, Serious Eats’ Ariel Kanter recommends updating your mass-produced food bottle with soy sauce.
