Chinese Jello Salad

Had this tonite with dinner, and it was cool and refreshing and different! Since I'm dieting, I used sugar-free jello, and it was STILL good because the soy sauce drowns out the artificial sweetener aftertaste.

Chinese Jello Salad

1 sm. pkg. orange Jello

1/2 c. cold water, add ice cubes to make 1 cup
