We used Cook's Illustrated homemade vegetarian fish sauce recipe, made with dried shiitake mushrooms, soy sauce, salt, and water. Liquid aminos are a close match to fish sauce. Soy sauce can be used in a pinch.

  • 3 tablespoons liquid aminos, vegetarian fish sauce, or soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice

  • 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
