Soy Sauce

tablespoons → grams

Soy sauce weighs 255g per cup, notably heavier than water due to its high sodium and amino acid content. Light soy sauce and dark soy sauce have similar weights but very different flavors and uses. When converting recipes, note that Japanese soy sauce (shoyu) is typically less salty than Chinese soy sauce.

03 // WHY IT MATTERS

READ TIME · 2 MIN

If your cookies spread, your bread is gummy, or your cake sinks — flour weight is usually why.

A scooped cup of flour can weigh anywhere from 125g to 180g. That's a 44% range — enough to wreck a cake.

Modern recipes use the spoon-and-level method: fluff the flour, spoon it into a dry measuring cup without packing, then sweep flat with a knife.

The scoop method — pushing the cup directly into the bag — packs in 40-50% more flour.
