How Soy Sauce Converter Works?
The Soy Sauce Converter works by dividing grams of soy sauce by 5.67 g per US teaspoon. Dissolved salt and soy solids make soy sauce about 15% denser than water.

Light (regular) soy sauce fits the 5.67 g value. Dark soy sauce and tamari are thicker and slightly heavier.
Enter grams
Type the weight, such as 30 g for a stir-fry sauce.

tsp = g ÷ 5.67 | 1 tbsp = 17.01 g | sodium ≈ 900–1,000 mg per tbsp
- 30 g of soy sauce ÷ 17.01 = 1.76 tbsp.
- 10 g of soy sauce ÷ 5.67 = 1.76 tsp.
- 2 tbsp of soy sauce = 34.02 g.
