We have many different dietary needs/wants in our house. T1.5D, pescetarian, and two picky teens. Because of this I am very familiar with making subtle changes to recipes to satisfy everyone’s needs.
Whether you are vegan/vegetarian or simply don’t like fish, you may pass over a terrific dish because it contains fish sauce. This sauce is a lovely substitution and offers the bold flavours a traditional fish sauce offers.
This recipe yields 1 cup of sauce but nutritional values are based on 1/4 cup.
