La salsa de soja es uno de los condimentos más conocidos y antiguos del mundo, se produce a partir de la semilla de soja y de los hongo aspergillus oryzae. Sin embargo, cabe destacar que hay muchísimas variedades distintas ya que nació en China hace más de 700 años y ha ido experimentando algunos cambios.
Surgió como alternativa del condimento derivado de la salazón (método antiguo de conservación de alimentos). El líquido obtenido por la mezcla del jugo de la carne y la salazón era empleado como condimento. Este condimento no podía ser usado por la comunidad vegetariana por lo que buscaron una alternativa llamada actualmente salsa de soja.
Por eso en el Asador City Wok Alfafar queremos enseñarte algo más acerca de este delicioso condimento.
Este condimento aporta muchos beneficios a nuestro organismo ya que contiene gran variedad de nutrientes, como proteína, fibra y aminoácidos.
La soja contiene isoflavonas que son fitonutrientes que funcionan como antioxidantes naturales, que entre otras cosas, retrasan el envejecimiento del tejido celular. Pero la salsa de soja es rica en proteína vegetal y su aportación de grasas y calorías es muy baja. También contiene calcio y algunos estudios confirman la reducción del colesterol. Además los microorganismos protegen y enriquecen la flora intestinal y mejoran nuestra salud.
La salsa de soja es antioxidante, es decir que aporta una defensa ante la oxidación celular, previniendo muchas enfermedades. Además mejora la salud de los huesos ayudando a la retención del calcio.
La soja es muy baja en grasas, y es por ello que añadirla a nuestras comidas reduce las calorías de la misma.
Para elaborarse el primer paso es la fermentación de la soja y el trigo, después hay que añadir el agua y la sal, se deja reposar la mezcla alrededor de un año o año y medio, eso si removiendo durante el proceso.
El resultado de este primer paso es un tipo de pasta que se filtra en unas bolsas de tela para extraer el líquido, ese líquido se caliente para quitarle la espuma y el resultado final ya es la salsa de soja.
La soja tiene una alta estabilidad al calor, es decir los nutrientes que contienen el grano son resistentes a altas temperaturas, conservando los productos derivados de la soja los nutrientes originales.
Alivia algunas enfermedades, el consumo de salsa de soja puede prevenir la osteoporosis y problemas cardiovasculares, aunque no es recomendable en personas con problemas de hipertensión ya que es muy rica en sales.

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside of it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers), both for Windows and for MAC users.
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
