Soy sauce in lieu of salt, for pretty much anything liquidy. Gravy, soup, pasta sauce, what have you.

    100%! Why have just salt when you can have salt and umami!

    I also put a little soy sauce in the beaten egg mixture for omelette or scrambled eggs :)

    because soy is such a dominant flavor, that's why. it tends to over power everything and all you can taste is the soy sauce.

    Your mileage may vary i suppose. Soy doesn't seem to be a problem for Japanese cuisine, which I usually consider as tasting very light in comparison to a lot of food.

    Tamagoyaki egg rolls for example use soy sauce and are delicious and not overpowering at all.
