Mock Soy Sauce

[Valerie]

adapted from Complete Gluten-Free Cookbook by Donna Washburn and Heather Butt

1.5 cups boiling water
3 gf vegan "beef" bouillon cubes or 3T powder
1/4 C cider vinegar
2 T molasses
pinch ground black pepper

Dissolve bouillon in boiling water. Gradually whisk in vinegar, sesame oil, molasses and pepper. Will keep 1 month refrigerated.

*Note, instead of beef bouillon I used mushroom broth from soaking dried mushrooms and that worked just fine.

Sweet, thanks for the post.

How does this compare, flavor-wise, with regular soy sauce? If this is close, you've made me very happy.

Edit: do I have your permission to copy your post on another board? I know someone there who has had to give up soy and she really misses soy sauce.

As far as taste I'd say it is the closest thing I've come across. Still, not exact, of course.

Copy away.

I might just give this recipe a go!
Have you guys heard of tamari ? It's a type of soy sauce made without wheat.
