Guest guest Posted January 5, 2003 Report Share Posted January 5, 2003 Hello Pat, I have spent quite some time looking for a substitute for Thai fish sauce (nam pla) and have been unable to find it, even though I am positive that I once read somewhere that a vegetarian/vegan substitute was available. I was even planning to post a request to this group to ask if anyone knew of a substitute. A few days ago, out of the blue, my question was answered without me even asking it!! There was a posting to another group to which I belong (The Vegetarian Kitchen) with a list of substitutes for various Asian ingredients. I haven't tried using this yet, but they suggest a mixture of soy sauce and lime juice as a substitute for fish sauce. I hope you find this helpful and, if you do use it in the near future, perhaps you could let everyone know if is works. Cheers for now, Marie -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: Sant & Brown <santbrown Aan: The Feral Vegetarian Datum: zaterdag 4 januari 2003 18:10 Onderwerp: Vegetarian/vegan fish sauce? Can anyone tell me whether or not there is a vegetarian/vegan substitute for Thai fish sauce? I know there is a vegetarian Worcestershire Sauce (although I've not found it yet - not really looked as hard as I could, I reckon) and that my Chinese Oyster Sauce is the vegetarian variety - all I ever use. One can always omit the sauce, of course, but I think somewhere somehow some clever company must have come up with a non-real-fish variety ;=) Many thanks, pat -- PAT (In London, Ontario) Email List: townhounds- (townhounds/) Personal Email: SANTBROWN Personal Webpage: http://www.angelfire.com/art/pendragon/ ---------- * " Until he extends the circle of compassion to all living things, man will not himself find peace.
