Okay, a quick entry here - I'd been working on crafting a vegan version of fish sauce, the pungent flavoring used in a lot of Asian cooking. The idea was to create something pungently umami flavored, but without animal ingredients. Fish sauce is a crucial ingredient in pad thai, and although my pad thai was ultimately a failure, I'm happy with how my fish sauce turned out, and I would make it the same way again.
Here's what you do:
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup dried shiitake mushrooms, chopped
1 TBS nutritional yeast
1 tsp brown sugar
1 tsp lime juice
Heat all the ingredients in a small sauce pan until just simmering. Cover, remove from heat, and let stand for about ten minutes. Remove or strain out the mushroom pieces and you're done.
