FISH SAUCE SUBSTITUTES

 

From Sundays at Moosewood: Prepare a strong vegetable stock, strong on the

onions and black

peppercorns, and use 2 tbsp of this (with an extra 1/2 to 1 tsp salt) to

substitute fo 2 tbsp of

fish sauce in recipes.

 

From Jonathan Kandell: for 1/4 C fish sauce, use: 1/4 C soy sauce plus a

little water with 1T miso

with 2T fermented black beans crushed, marinated a while. experiment with

the proportions.

 

In David Thompson's " The Top One Hundred Thai Dishes " , he recommends

substituting light soy sauce

for fish sauce to make some of the recipes vegetarian.

 

Those seriously interested in making Thai vegetarian would do well to look

for Nancie McDermott's

" Real Vegetarian Thai. " (I think it was Ten Speed Press last year)

For fish sauce, she recommends increasing salt, adding vegetable broth and

bean paste.

 

Mushroom soy sauce can be used also.
