SOY SAUCE REPLACEMENT -LOW SODIUM



Soy Sauce Replacement -Low Sodium image

I got this recipe from The No-Salt, Lowest-Sodium Cookbook. I missed Chinese food so much I decided to make a batch. Don't expect it to taste exactly like commercial soy sauce brands - it doesn't - but it's a decent substitute for the real thing at 1.711 mg per tablespoon as opposed to La Choy's "lite" brand at a whopping 560 mg. per tablespoon. Shrimp Fried Rice - here we come! (I guessed the amount of servings - who knows?)

Notice the substitute at the top. I have found nothing that really has the same taste as all that salt does in real soy sauce. But when used with other ingredients or on a meal it is very similiar..and still has flavor: a low sodium MUST have! Adapted from a recipe at cdkitchen.com

LOW SODIUM SOY SAUCE

From the Low Sodium Cookbook.com and tweaked, a little by me. It is the best tasting substitute of the 4 or 5 I have tried. Just don't compare it with the real stuff! I used instant coffee granules to darken it up. Ingredients can be added or omitted, as desired. Could be doubled, or more for large amount.

  • whisk briskly, bring to a boil.
  • simmer, uncovered, for about 5 minutes, or until mixture is reduced to about 1/2 cup.
