Shrimp Paste
An Asian paste made from grinding fermented shrimp and salt together, which is then shaped into cakes. The paste has a very strong aroma and a very salty, fishy flavor. It ranges in color from grayish-pink to brownish and is used sparingly in Asian soups, sauces and rice dishes.
 

SOY SAUCE

The traditional soy sauce, typically considered as an Asian condiment, is made from fermented soybeans. Salt and water are added after the the original mixture.  This combination of ingredients is then seasoned again and allowed to mature for months after which it is pasteurized and prepared for commercial use.
