Try these quick and easy ways to incorporate Kikkoman Soy Sauce into your favorite condiments, dipping sauces, toppings and spreads:

Soy-Mayonnaise: Mix 1/4 cup real mayonnaise and 1 teaspoon Kikkoman Soy Sauce.

Consider Soy-Mayo your "new" basic condiment. Serve with steamed broccoli, asparagus and artichokes. Use it as a spread on a burger or sandwich for extra zing. This Soy-Mayo dressing enhances any type of salad that uses mayonnaise, such as pasta, tuna, potato and egg.

Soy-Balsamic-Olive Oil: Stir together 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil with 1 teaspoon each of Kikkoman Soy Sauce and balsamic vinegar; pour into shallow dish.

Naturally brewed Kikkoman Soy Sauce mellows the sharpness of the vinegar. The next time you entertain, offer guests slices of Italian or French bread, served with a bowl of Soy-Balsamic-Olive Oil for dipping.

Soy-Butter: Blend 1 tablespoon Kikkoman Soy Sauce with 3/4 cup softened butter.

Update meat and potatoes! Your favorite steak is ideal when paired with soy butter, but try the spread also on a baked potato, hot steamed rice, corn or any green vegetable such as beans, broccoli and asparagus.

Soy-Ranch Dressing: Blend 1/4 cup ranch salad dressing and 1 teaspoon Kikkoman Soy Sauce.

Who doesn't like ranch dressing? Serve this mixture on baked potatoes or steamed vegetables such as cauliflower or carrots, or use with raw bell peppers. It's also an ideal dipping sauce for batter- or crumb-coated foods such as chicken nuggets and tempura vegetables. Try it, too, as a substitute for anchovy-based Caesar dressing on romaine lettuce.

Soy-Spicy Brown Mustard: Blend 1/4 cup spicy brown mustard and 4 teaspoons Kikkoman Soy Sauce.

You can dress this spicy mustard up or down. Spread it on hot dogs or breaded fish sticks or serve as an accompaniment for ham, roast pork or sausages.

Soy-Peanut Butter: Blend together 1/4 cup smooth peanut butter with 1 teaspoon each of Kikkoman Soy Sauce and water until smooth.

Peanut butter lovers rejoice! This creamy combo makes afternoon snacks a treat when spread on crackers, cucumbers, apple and/or pear slices. Or use it to stuff celery stalks for relish plates. Keep a small container of Soy-Peanut Butter at your desk for a late afternoon snack, or put in reach of children so they can prepare their own treat after school.

Soy-Ketchup: Mix 1/3 cup tomato ketchup and 1 tablespoon Kikkoman Soy Sauce.

Give classic American favorites an extra kick. Serve with French fries, steaks, hamburgers, hot dogs, onion rings or "tater tots." If desired, add hot pepper sauce to taste.
