Can you cook Thai food?!
Answers: I need a substitute for fish sauce in thai recipes - i know it gives the perfect flavor - i have a recipe for thai beef salad which tastes amazing - but my son and myself are allergic to seafood and fish (him severely so) so i cannot use it - is there something else i could use that would give the same flavor ?
fish sauce is basically used to give that anchovy flavor...and taste like salt when you eat it plain...it's usually blended in with chilies and limes to balance out the thai flavor....i cant imagine your son would be upset if you left that little bit of anchovy taste out...may not be authentic thai...but wouldnt shut off his airway either!!!!
give this one a try its rachel rays so im sure its great :)
1 sirloin steak
Salt and pepper
2 tablespoons soy sauce, plus more for drizzling
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons peanut butter
Juice of one lime (2 tablespoons)
4 cups coleslaw mix
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
One 3-ounce package ramen noodles (flavor packet saved for another use) broken into pieces
1. Season the steak with salt and pepper. In a grill pan, sear the steak over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes per side for medium rare; transfer to a plate to rest.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons water, the soy sauce, honey, peanut butter and lime juice. In a large bowl, combine the slaw mix, cilantro and basil with the peanut dressing and toss. Add the dry ramen noodles and toss again. Divide evenly among 4 shallow bowls.
3. Cut the steak into thin slices and distribute among the salads.
