Is there a substitute for soy sauce? I wanted to make a stir-fry and i don't have any?

Answer 1

If you don't have it and you are in a rush, you can substitute soy sauce with any of these:

* Tamari - 1 Tbs soy sauce = 2 tsp tamari (tamari sauce has a stronger flavor)
* Oxo (gravy granules or paste) - 1 tsp Oxo granules dissolved in 1 Tbs water = 1 Tbs soy sauce
* Maggi seasoning - 2 tsp seasoning = 1Tbs soy sauce
* A pinch of salt and 1/2 tsp dark sugar dissolved in 1 Tbs water, you can add a bit of molasses for a darker color.

Experiment to find the flavor right for you
