Vegan Tom Yum Soup - Good Old Vegan

Vegan Tom Yum Soup

Tom Yom Soup has always been a favorite of mine. However, making a vegan version can be tricky. Like many Thai food recipes, Tom Yum Soup features fish sauce as an ingredient.

A lot of recipes online call for soy sauce as a substitute for fish sauce, but after some careful experimentation, I came up with a vegan fish sauce substitute that’s loaded with unami and easy to make. And superior to soy sauce. IMHO.

This Tom Yum Soup recipe uses it. 🌱
