Also Know, which is healthier tamari or soy sauce?

How do you use tamari soy sauce?

Tamari is actually a better dipping sauce for sushi than soy sauce as it wont overwhelm the fish with saltiness. You can also add tamari to soups, stews, marinades, stir-fries, and Asian sauces, or use it right out of the bottle as a condiment for noodles, dumplings, fish (especially raw, like sashimi), and tofu.
