I happen to have an Ancient Roman Cookbook, So give this a try.

Part 1
a pinch of Peppercorns, Lovage (or celery leaves), Dried Onion, Caraway seeds and celery seeds.
Part 2
1 drop Asafoetida (or alternatively Fennel) (same family)
15ml/1 tbsp White Wine
15ml/1 tbsp Passum (which is Raisin wine but use Brandy or Rice wine as Alternative)
15ml/1 tbsp Vinegar
15ml/1 tbsp Olive Oil
15ml/1 tbsp Anchovy Essence
15ml/1 tbsp Cornflour

Grind Part 1 together. Moisten with Asafoetida and add part 2 all the liquid together with the spices.
Add the Cornflour and mix it all together until it boils stirring all the time. Remove from heat when thick.

It's basically a white sauce (flour oil and water) with the these extra ingredients. Good luck.
You can also use Spring onions and ginger with fish sauce.
