Guest guest Posted July 31, 2001 Report Share Posted July 31, 2001 Hello All: Does anyone have a recipe for a soy sauce substitute for someone who cannot use soy products? This is a pretty hard item to replace for taste. Thanks for any help, Noella Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2001 Report Share Posted August 1, 2001 And I wonder if we can use lemon juice instead. I could give it a try. It would make a nice sauce anyway...even if it doesn't exactly taste like soy sauce :-). --Noella , eye of newt <krasota@s...> wrote: > ooops, replace the white vinegar in my second recipe with rice > vinegar. i forgot that white vinegar is sometimes derived from wheat. > > ygg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
