Vegan Fish Sauce
Lots of South East Asian recipes – eg Thai or Vietnamese – list fish sauce in their ingredients. Vegan versions are sold in the US* and are only just edging their way into the UK market. In the meantime, here is our simple home-made version. The recipe makes a small jar full so double up if you want more. It will keep a couple of weeks in the fridge. It can also be used as a sauce with tofu – fry it up in the usual way then drizzle the sauce over the tofu before serving. Mmm!
*Two brands to watch out for (or hassle your local shops to stock!)
- Tofuna Vegan Fysh Sauce
- Au Lac Nuoc Mam Chay
