Guest guest Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 When I first found out I was allergic to soy, I made a soy sauce substitute by just mixing a little molasses with sea salt and just a bit of water. It has very much the same flavor, without all of the artificial salts, and works great as a dipping sauce.

But I think you might be surprised how little you'll notice the difference From the 300 mg or more per tablespoon stuff. This was sent to me by a reader of the newsletter, who Said it came from a better homes and gardens low sodium cookbook. Ironically, that must be the only Book they ever published that I don't have. I usually make a double or triple batch. It keeps well in the Refrigerator, and a half a cup never seems to go very far. 2 T Sodium Free Beef Bouillon (vegetarian substitute)2 t Red Wine Vinegar1 t Molasses1/8 t Ground GingerDs Black PepperDs Garlic Powder3/4 c Water In small sauce pan, combine and boil gently uncovered about 5 minutes or til mixture is reduced to 1/2 Cup.

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 Good idea, I would probably do dark agave here instead of molasses because of blood sugar unless there is a better solution? I have to find substitutes all the time because of the monster blood sugar.lol -- Soy sauce substitute OTundisclosed-recipients@...Date: Wednesday, August 3, 2011, 7:53 PM Soy Sauce Substitute No, it's not real soy sauce.

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 I have done it with agave too=works and tastes fine, but molasses just makes it look a bit more authentic. I have since given up molasses, but it sure tasted similar to soy when I was weaning myself from "familiar" foods.
