Healthy Boy Brand thin soy sauce, Thai ซีอิ๊วขาว formula 1, in a 700 ml bottle for stir-fries, fried rice, clear soups and dipping sauces.
The yellow label with a chubby boy hugging a soy bottle is one of the best-known faces in Thai kitchens, and here it heads a 700 ml bottle of Thin Soy Sauce, Healthy Boy Brand. Beneath the English sits ซีอิ๊วขาวสูตร1, white soy sauce formula 1, while vertical Chinese characters read 醬油王, king of soy sauce, and the emblem below carries the name 仁和園醬園. The net contents line gives 23.5 fl oz (700 ml). As general background, in Thai cuisine sii-íu kǎao, white soy sauce, is used as regular soy sauce, while sii-íu dam, black soy sauce, is used primarily for colour. Thin soy is therefore the everyday seasoning rather than the colouring one. Commonly, Thai cooks season khao pad fried rice, stir-fried morning glory and pad pak, clear vegetable soups, rice porridge and noodle soups with it, and use it in marinades for grilled chicken. It also forms the base of quick dips with chilli and lime, and works across Chinese-style steamed fish and dumpling menus.
