Soy Sauce Substitute ???

Thanks for the additional info and preparing foods that need soy, without it.

My pleasure. I stopped using soy after breast cancer, and searched for a soy alternative. I've tried the coconut stuff, the fish sauce, and what works for me is a combo of both plus some sodium free beef bouillon. I buy the powdered kind in packets. It helps pull down the overall sodium content (my secondary worry, right behind the soy issue)
My family is unable to detect any difference in my Asian type dishes, so I'd say its working ok.

This Braggs is higher in sodium then low sodium soy sauce.

Leo Benson, thank you for that info. Not thrilled the Braggs is a soy product, so it is used sparingly. This sounds like a good option. terry r.

Thanks much, Leo. I looked up the coconut aminos and this looks promising.

Apologies to all - let me be more specific:
We need a substitute for soy sauce that is similar in flavor but has no soy.

Tamari and Braggs are both made from soy.

Great stuff...can't taste the difference

Coconut aminos is what I bought when I went soy-free. It's closer in taste than fish sauce, which is another option. The coconut aminos is made from fermented coconut palm bark, I believe. You can order from amazon or get it in Whole Foods.

I use the low sodium one but still really high in sodium. Fish sauce is even higher! Love them both just have to really limit them.

You can get low sodium soy sauce. We use fish sauce a lot.

I can only tell you that Soy Sauce is NOT a good substitute for "Worcestershire sauce" when making a bloody mary. Neither is it a good idea to not put your glasses on when mixing one :)
