Soy Sauce: mL to Grams and Grams to mL
If a recipe lists soy sauce in mL and your scale reads grams, the short answer is that 100 mL of soy sauce weighs about 108 g. Soy sauce is heavier than water, so the two numbers are never the same.
The Formula
mL to grams: Weight (g) = Volume (mL) × 1.08
Grams to mL: Volume (mL) = Weight (g) ÷ 1.08
Worked Examples
- 15 mL of soy sauce = 16.2 g
- 250 mL of soy sauce = 270 g
- 200 g of soy sauce = 185.2 mL
Common Kitchen Measures
- 1 teaspoon (4.93 mL) = 5.3 g
- 1 tablespoon (14.79 mL) = 16 g
- 1/4 cup (59.1 mL) = 63.9 g
- 1/2 cup (118.3 mL) = 127.8 g
- 1 cup (236.6 mL) = 255.5 g
Why Soy Sauce Weighs What It Does
Soy sauce is heavily salted and full of dissolved solids, so it is denser than water. At about 1.08 g per mL, 100 mL weighs around 108 g.
Measuring Tips
Dark, light and reduced sodium soy sauces differ a little in density. Treat the figure as a close guide, not a laboratory value.
