I believe that "mushrooms, soaking liquid" refers to when one soaks dried mushrooms (most often shiitake) in water, the resulting water will have absorbed savory flavors from the mushrooms and can be used in lieu of soy sauce.

I see. I thought it was a special liquid one used to soak mushrooms in.

I may have to try that out for my own enjoyment as the person with soy allergies I am planning on cooking for does not like mushrooms.

For your suggestion I will subject you to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hSW67ySCio&eurl=http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=jimi+hendrix+purple+haze&www_google_domain=www.google.com&hl=en&embiurl=http://i2.ytimg.com/vi/5hSW67ySCio/hqdefault.jpg&feature=player_embedded

My friend is coming to visit you too after she leaves here?   

Good luck!  I'll ask her tonight what she uses as she loves Thai food but is allergic to soy.

Please do.

So for it's lea and parings.

I know I spelled it worng.

worcestershire is NOT a suitable alternative to soy sauce. totally different flavor profile with the anchovy and tamarind.

same with fish sauce to a lesser degree. also, with fish sauce, be aware that there are several different varieties and that thai fish sauce (nam pla) will not taste the same as vietnamese fish sauce (nuoc mam).

Alright.

going to have to say what I'm making Terriaki Chiken stir fry.

there will be ginger, garlic, cooking wine, and brown sugar in the mix as well.

I need something to is a good fake for the recipe.

try looking up some recipes for brewing (it's fermented) your own soy sauce. then use some of the spices they use in those recipes. afaik, soy sauce as at least a tiny hint of cinnamon in it (but i could be wrong).

go get some cooking mirin (sweetened rice wine) and some rice wine vinegar. use them in equal parts and add ginger and garlic to taste. It's basically teriyaki minus soy and adding the vinegar, the sharpness of which will somewhat replace the soy sauce's flavor profile without introducing off flavors. It won't be teriyaki, but it will taste good and will also taste japaneesy.

on further reflection, I'd use 2 parts mirin, 1 part vinegar, and 1 part chicken stock (not sodium free or any crap like that).

Ginger!  Forget not the ginger!  And I forgot to ask her, so I will anon!

Right.

I'm just trying to get something close. as she's never had teriyaki am sure a little bit off won't matter.

I wonder how a salted Stout would taste as a condiment?

[Jenne]

Bad news, F, she says there IS NO sub for soy sauce, that she just doesn't use it.

using some (reduced) beer sounds like a pretty good idea to get some of that yeasty flavour from the soy sauce. but not too much.
