Does soy sauce go bad after a certain date?
I've had it in my refrigerator for a while now, I don't see an exp date on it, but it smells a little stronger than what it should
Sorry I didn't post on recipes, but I need an answer quick, I'm about to make Chicken Adobo (or not if the soy sauce is no good ).
Thanks!

It just gets really concentrated because it evaporates....use a little less and add some water and you should be good....got any takeout packets? Always save them!

found this on About.com - source
When it comes to soy sauce, I received the following advice from the Consumer Department at Kikkoman. While the comments refer specifically to Kikkoman soy sauce, in general they should be applicable to other soy sauce brands:
"For the freshest tasting sauce, we recommend using Kikkoman Soy Sauce within three to six months after opening. The sauce is still safe to use beyond this time but the quality may not be at its best. Once opened, the freshness and flavor of the sauce will slowly deteriorate. Therefore, we also recommend refrigerating the soy sauce after opening. Refrigeration helps the flavor and quality characteristics remain at their peak for a longer period. In addition, our soy sauce will not spoil if it is not refrigerated but its quality will decline faster.
A fresh bottle of Kikkoman Soy Sauce should have a piquant flavor and reddish-brown color. When opened and exposed to air, naturally brewed soy sauce will darken and become stronger in flavor and aroma over time. This is the result of oxidation. Although this is not harmful in any way, it will cause the quality to decline. With an older bottle, the sauce may appear darker in color and have a strong, heavier taste. We believe the flavor of our soy sauce is at its peak when the bottle is first opened."

Cool, thanks!
I'll post the recipe as soon as I get a chance (it's so hard to even cook w/ my daughter these days!!!).
Got the recipe from my Filipino friend- her family recipe. It's my first time making it tonight.
