There are plenty of alternatives to soy to provide that welcome umami kick, from soy-free soy sauce to seaweed – and don’t forget multi-talented Marmite
I am vegetarian and allergic to soy. So many fabulous-looking recipes contain soy sauce, tamari or miso: do you have thoughts on possible substitutions or strategies around this?Soy sauce, tamari and miso are all big flavour enhancers with tons of umami depth, so that’s what you want to aim to get into your cooking. Seeing as you’re vegetarian, though, some of the more common alternatives won’t work, because many of them contain fish: Worcestershire sauce, say, or oyster or fish sauce.
Thinking beyond these kinds of “free-from” alternatives, however, you want to be looking at the likes of balsamic vinegar , tamarind paste and. These all have the sweet-sharp-sour combination that’s needed to hit the notes that soy, tamari and miso all strike so loudly. Molasses, too, are wonderful: date molasses, or my favourite pomegranate molasses, for example, are both good at delivering that rich, sweet-tangy depth to all sorts of dishes.
In terms of stocking up the cupboard with specific ingredients, meanwhile, you should try dried mushrooms and seaweed. Adding either of these to soup, stock or whatever else you’re cooking will bring a real umami kick to proceedings. Black garlic likewise: add about 30g to 200g Greek-style yoghurt, blitzed up, with a little lemon juice, salt and a couple of tablespoons of oil, andwill be very happy indeed. And that’s not all: sliced black garlic can be added to all sorts, including.
