Re: question about fish sauce substitutions

 

 

Hi there,

 

I found this topic while searching for something completely

unrelated, but had to post as I have my own recipe that no one else

seems to be hip to.

 

Whenever I cook vegan Filipino food, I make my own fish sauce. Here's

how to do it:

 

Take a tube of Tuno (the frozen kind-do not use the canned variety;

it's nasty) and defrost it. Then extract the juice from the tube

using a cheesecloth or similar method. The juice is so fishy you

won't believe it's vegan. Add to this a little soy sauce, Bragg's

or " Maggi " seasoning and you're in business!

Places I know you can buy Tuno in the East Bay:

 

Layonna Vege @ 8th & Broadway in Oakland

The Food Mill on MacArthur in Oakland

 

Happy fake fishing!
