Soy Sauce Substitute Recipe (Soy-Free, Gluten-Free)

I love to cook Chinese food, but one thing is missing from my pantry: regular soy sauce. I’ve long given up on convention soy sauce because my family is gluten free and soy free, and I now know why soy is bad for my health.

But that doesn’t mean I don’t miss it. Thankfully, I have a soy sauce alternative called Coconut Aminos on hand. It’s both gluten free and soy free – made from coconut sap. It tastes delicious and Paleo friendly as well. In fact, my Gluten-Free Fried Rice recipe calls for Coconut Aminos.

There’s only one downside… it can get expensive. On Amazon, it’s about $12 for a 8 oz. bottle. At my local health food store, it’s about $6.85 for the same bottle. I have a Thrive Market membership (if you don’t already have one – it’s awesome! It’s like Whole Foods meets Costco. Sign up for a Thrive Market membership and get 2 months free and 10% off your first order) and get Coconut Aminos for about $4.45 for a 8 0z. bottle.

So as long as I order through Thrive Market, I can get Coconut Aminos for a great price. But you know what usually happens? I run out with nothing else to use and I have leftover rice or some other Asian dish I want to cook up.

That’s why I love having this Soy Sauce Substitute recipe on hand in case I need an alternative with basic ingredients I already have in my pantry. It’s really easy to make and a great way to use up leftover bone broth.
