According to the Salted Spoonful, if you want to add that splash of flavor to your tuna salad, you should consider adding soy sauce to your recipe. Per the Cooking Channel, soy sauce has been around since 300 A.D. and is an important condiment when eating sushi, ramen, lo mein, or other Asian recipes we know and love. Why? Because soy sauce adds "umami" to whatever recipes you want to make pop. It's that rich savory depth of flavor, coupled with a subtle sweetness, that ensures the addition of soy sauce will knock the socks off your tuna salad.
However, as Salted Spoonful explains, the soy sauce is only part of the equation to the secret. The other part is to allow your tuna to take a nice bath in the sauce for anywhere between three hours to overnight. This marinating allows those fermented flavors of the brown juice to work its magical powers. You might be wondering, is it really that yummy?
Well, it must be because sandwich shop Jimmy John's also uses soy sauce to create their tuna salad sandwich and there are plenty of copycat recipes out there that get pretty close to the delicious taste of Jimmy John's version of this sandwich. How much soy sauce should you add? Per Reddit, ½ cup does the trick.
