SOY SAUCE SUBSTITUTE WITH VERY LOW SODIUM

Soy Sauce Substitute With Very Low Sodium image

I tagged this for cooking for a parent with congestive heart failure, for whom sodium must be kept to a minimum. The recipe came from Don Gazzaniga's "The No-Salt, Lowest-Sodium Cookbook". I broke into gales of laughter at Whole Foods when I read the label for a commercial "low sodium" soy sauce: 400 mg sodium! Rather than give up on soy sauce completely, I would use this recipe, as I have had good luck with other recipes by Gazzaniga. Suggested brands of molasses and onion powder are low in salt. Mastercook says 29 mg sodium in entire recipe!

This soy sauce substitute doesn't taste exactly like the real thing, but it makes a flavorful alternative if you are trying to reduce the amount of salt in your diet, or avoid soy or gluten (as most bottled soy sauces are not gluten-free). Chinese cooking can be healthy especially if you cook it yourself, which is great because sodium can be high in a lot of its dishes.
