Guest guest Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 Capers? It is not quite the same but it is the common substitute for anchovies. Gary ________________________________ Riley McIntire <riley.mcintire Thursday, March 19, 2009 10:39:43 AM Anchovy substitutes Hi all, I'm mostly a lurker here. And still on the dark side, if you will. Hope this is a reasonable question for this list? Last night I made a tofu dish, trying to imitate Thai cooking: stir fried tofu, onions, chiles (rocotos/manzanos), carrots, celery, broccoli, chopped pineapple, ginger, garlic, tumeric, some Frank's Louisiana hot sauce for salt, then some light coconut milk, but it just didn't seem right until I added an anchovy and then some fish sauce (before and after the coco milk, actually) I really started out to do a vegetarian dish. I didn't want to use soy sauce. Is there a good substitute for fish sauce and/or anchovy? I know I could google it, and probably will, but would like some first hand suggestions. Thanks, Riley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 Mashed capers take the place of anchoives. In the files under the sauce folder there is a vegetarian fish sauce. Let me know if you need help.

Ah, wait, under: *Recipes <%2ARecipes/>> Sauces, Marinades, Gravies, Pesto & Condiments Vegetarian Fish Sauce. Using seaweed. Very clever people, these vegetarians. ;-) Thanks, Riley -- " To be interested in the changing seasons is a happier state of mind than to be hopelessly in love with spring.
