1 quart of soy sauce equals 35.98 oz. Soy sauce has a density of 255g per cup (1,020g per quart), which means it's relatively heavy compared to other common cooking ingredients. For comparison, 1 quart of all-purpose flour would be 17.66 oz.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 1 quart of soy sauce
- 1 quart of soy sauce = 1,020g
- 1 × 1,020 = 1,020g
- Convert grams to ounces: 1,020 ÷ 28.3495 = 35.98 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.

Understanding the Units

The quart gets its name from "quarter" (of a gallon). One US quart is about 5.7% smaller than 1 liter (946 ml vs 1,000 ml). Always use the exact unit your recipe specifies.
What is an Ounce?
Ounces are commonly used in US recipes for cheese, meat, chocolate, and other ingredients sold by weight. Many kitchen scales offer both gram and ounce readings.
