You can't find soy sauce on the shelves in either of our supermarkets. Googling suggests that reducing down a tablespoon or so of sugar and two of salt into a shallow small pan of boiling water will produce something that tastes broadly similar. As I was cooking fried rice tonight I was thinking of trying it but has anyone ever tried this before I even attempt it and completely waste my time?

Ursus, this is a village in central Lancashire. The soy sauce at the best of times, along with pasta, rice and curry sauces are on half an aisle that is not headed "world foods" but "all that foreign muck".Last edited by Rogin the Armchair fan; 29-03-2020, 17:29.

In terms of the title, we're already manufacturing our own hand sanitiser using a mixture of 70% polypropyl rubbing alcohol (my husband had a huge bottle for cleaning the 3D printer) and 30% aloe vera gel (I bought in B&M before our full lockdown for this express purpose).

Originally posted by ursus arctos View PostCoconut aminos is a liquid condiment similar to soy sauce but made from the fermented sap of a coconut palm tree and sea salt. Coconut aminos can be used in place of soy sauce, Bragg Liquid Aminos, or tamari, though it does cost significantly more than any of them.
And now I have further questions. What are "Bragg Liquid Aminos" and tamari?

Tamari are a category of soy-like sauces that are generally gluten free (standard soy sauce uses wheat). We generally have both on hand at any given time.
Bragg Liquid Aminos is a seasoning sauce made from soybeans and purified water. All of the soybeans used to produce the Bragg product are verified by the Non-GMO Project. Bragg Liquid Aminos contains no chemicals, artificial coloring, or preservatives. One downside to Bragg Liquid Aminos is the cost, since it's a bit pricier than most standard soy sauce brands.

Not homemade, but I couldn't get Sun-Pat peanut butter in Tesco last week and all they had left was Marmite peanut butter, so I bought a jar. Now I like Marmite, but let's just say that this may be an acquired taste. It's quite runny with lots of peanut oil and the taste is neither Marmitey or peanutty enough to really tick either box.
