Course Pantry Staples and Condiments
Cuisine Chinese, Japanese
Keyword Dairy Free, Gluten Free, Nut Free, Vegan, Vegetarian

Ingredients

  • 200 g water
  • 20 g blackstrap molasses
  • 20 g salt This quantity yields a "lower sodium" style soy sauce.
  • 5 g MSG (monosodium glutamate)

Instructions

  • Combine all ingredients in a food-safe squirt bottle and store in the refrigerator. The mix lasts several months without issue due to the high salt content.

Notes

A note on molasses: There are many kinds of molasses. Blackstrap is a heavy boiled version that contains less residual sugar and sweetness, which is a good match for faux soy. I use Plantation brand non-organic blackstrap, which has a high calcium content. The Plantation organic molasses has an acrid flavor; I don't recommend it.
