Soy Free Soy Sauce! {also Gluten Free!}

To all my friends with soy allergies, you can enjoy the taste of soy sauce again! You won’t believe how much this soy free soy sauce tastes like the real thing.

First things first, I have to send all my good thoughts to Paris. I wish there was something I could do to ease all the pain I know is happening there, to anyone who has family and friends there, or to anyone who has even just stepped foot in or dreamed of visiting such magical city. Your magic is not lost, and I know you will come out stronger and even more magical after this. Ugh… just… good thoughts – that’s all I can do… 

Ok… onto today’s post… 

Since developing a bunch of food allergies, I’ve been pretty good about finding substitutions for all my old favorites. Healthy “nice” cream has become my thing, and I’m pretty much a wheat-free pro. One thing that’s been tricky, however, is soy sauce. I’m a big fan of Asian cuisine, and I’ve had to give a lot of that up since most of my favorite dishes come with a soy-based sauce. I still enjoy sushi, but I miss the salty dippingness (yea… that’s a word now) that soy sauce adds.

Well, last weekend I went on a mission to create a soy-sauce alternative, and I’m please to say I’ve done it! Low and behold, Soy Free Soy Sauce!

Is that angels I hear singing? I think so! This stuff takes no time at all to make and tastes just like the regular stuff. All you have to do is throw the ingredients in a pot and let it all boil down. Instant perfection. 

I used my newly created sauce to create Gingered Beef & Broccoli from the Meals On The Run Cookbook. Ooo ahhhh. So delicious! 

And then the true test: as a dipping sauce for sushi. The outcome. A solid win for all fish kind! 

I used a beef stock to make it, but I’m sure a no-beef boullion (affiliate link) will work just as well for all my vegetarian/vegan friends.

I’ve heard coconut aminos are a good soy sauce sub, too, so that’s next on my to-try list.

Now all I need is to find a substitution for popcorn, and I’m set!
