Golden Mountain Seasoning Sauce

Golden Mountain Sauce is often thought to be a secret ingredient in Thai food. This sauce has been used for well over a century in Thailand, contributing a special flavor to Thai stir-fries and other dishes. Like soy sauce, golden mountain sauce is composed mainly of fermented soy beans and salt. It tastes quite different from soy sauce, however: slightly saltier, plus there is a hint of sweetness (it does contain sugar).
