Mich Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Hi, I am having trouble locating coconut aminos in Australia. There are a few places that you can use to import it but they are all out of stock. Any suggestions as an alternative for making a stir fry?

Moderators Tom Denham Posted September 7, 2012 Moderators Share Posted September 7, 2012 You could use a balsamic vinegar as an alternative. The taste is different, but it could work. In some situations, you might use fish sauce. Again, the taste is different, but it could work. I like coconut aminos, but actually don't use it very often. I never was big on soy sauce, which is what it replaces so well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StuffIMakeMyHusband Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Maybe a different stir-fry sauce, like a coconut milk or sunbutter based sauce? For example: http://www.theclothesmakethegirl.com/2009/07/21/sunshine-sauce/ (there is a tablespoon of coconut aminos but you could probably just omit and add salt instead) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 I combine 1 can coconut milk and 2 tbsp. red curry paste. It comes out pretty saucy but it's very sweet and delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midwestgirl80 Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Michelle, I too am in Australia and have been searching for these! Seems like places did have them, but like you said are all out of stock. If I find any, I will let you know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mich Posted September 9, 2012 Author Share Posted September 9, 2012 Thanks for the suggestions everyone. Ashley, that sounds fab. I'll try that. Midwestgirl80, I'll do the same for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwijimbob Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Hey guys :-) I'm in Brisbane and found some at the organic shop in Samford - they still have a few bottles left :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mich Posted September 11, 2012 Author Share Posted September 11, 2012 Oooh, KiwiJimBob you are a legend. I'll make my way out there this weekend and hopefully there will still be some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midwestgirl80 Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Hi MichB- Not sure if you managed to secure any yet, but I was finally sucessful! The website below has them in stock and will deliver. They are in Sydney, but they aren't near me so they actually hand delivered it to my office! But they ship through the Australia Post as well: http://www.thecoconutshop.com.au/shop/ Hope that helps! UPDATE: they have coconut sugar in them - I've posted in the "Can I have?" forum to see if this is okay (I am guessing no). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quotidianlight Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 By boyfriend mixed some Sherry vinegar, balsamic vinegar, moscatel vinegar and a bunch of salt for my sashimi and it was a wonderful soy sauce substitute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Worldismyoyster Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I did search the forum and found a couple of old threads - am wondering if anyone has since come up with a better solution than vinegar+fish sauce. I loooove my soy sauce and totally hate CA. thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If for dipping like with sushi, I'm not sure there is a similar substitute to soy sauce... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Worldismyoyster Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 yeah, for sushi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators SugarcubeOD Posted January 16, 2018 Moderators Share Posted January 16, 2018 Just now, Worldismyoyster said: yeah, for sushi Ya, I've never heard of anyone finding something that is similar... when I use coconut aminos for sushi, I just make sure to load up on the wasabi (check for compliance) I've also moved your post to another thread with more posts as we like to try and keep the forum tidy.

I'm not sure there really is one. If you read through this thread there were a few suggestions that might work. Honestly, I rarely use them, and if I don't have them on hand and a recipe I'm making calls for them, I'll skip them and maybe add a little more salt, or maybe add a bit of vinegar.
