It can also be used in place of salt by substituting two teaspoons of shio koji for every teaspoon of salt.
Known to be an all-purpose seasoning, shio koji works wonders in any style of cooking. This easy-to-use aspect is another reason the traditional ingredient recaptured the spotlight in Japan.
Shio koji can easily be drizzled over meat or fish for marinating, used as a sauce, or as a final touch.
