I work casually at a Thai restuarant and have taken a liking to the food. I normally take some home at the end of my shift, but I would rather cook it fresh. My boss has given me the recipe for Tom Yum soup with Noodle for me to make but when my husband saw it had fish sauce in it - a vital ingredient - he refuses to try it.
He has been told that fish sauce is made by fisherman catching fish and leaving them in big nets over drains and the rotting oil from the fish is dripped down the drain and collected to make the sauce.
Is this true? and if it is, can I substitute soy sauce instead of fish sauce in the recipe so my husband will eat it. I don't want to offend my boss by asking her due to the language barrier.
Thank-you
