Instructions
 

  • Starting with the Japanese-style soy sauce, shoyu sauce is a great alternative - just use it as you would tamari.
  • For a lighter taste, try mushroom soy sauce or liquid aminos which are both gluten-free.
  • For those wanting an Asian-style flavor similar to tamari, try coconut aminos or teriyaki, or opt for fish sauce if you’re after something more salty and pungent.
  • Miso paste is another excellent alternative packed full of umami – simply mix equal quantities of miso paste and hot water to reach the tamari consistency.
  • For something quintessentially, English flavor try replacing tamari with Worcestershire sauce or classic English balsamic vinegar for undeniable taste bud treats!
