If you’re looking to avoid soy sauce without giving up your Asian dining habits, we have just the thing: liquid aminos. Typically derived from coconuts or soybeans, liquid aminos give you the umami flavor you’re looking for, sans the gluten found in traditional soy sauce. In the case of coconut aminos, the slightly salty and slightly sweet sauce is made from coconut sap, which is harvested from coconut blossoms before being lightly salted and aged. The rich sauce is a source of amino acids, with some brands containing up to 17 different types so you can enjoy a little nutritional boost while you use it in your favorite dishes.
How to Use Liquid Aminos
Think of liquid aminos as one of those secret ingredients that’ll add depth of flavor without anyone being able to pinpoint exactly what it is. Like soy sauce, liquid aminos work beautifully in marinades, dressings, glazes, and of course, as a dipping sauce for sushi.
