Subbing Coconut Aminos for Soy Sauce

[MelissaTriesWhole30]

I am on Day 12 of my first Whole 30.  I am going to make asian inspired meatballs and cauliflower fried "rice" tonight for dinner.  Both recipes call for soy sauce.  Do I sub equal amounts of coconut aminos for the soy sauce?  Or more?  Or less?

 

TIA.

I do believe you would sub this 1 for 1 in the recipes. My experience with coconut aminos is they are very similar in taste to soy sauce.

I find them to be sweeter and not as punchy in terms of saltiness. I often add a splash of fish sauce (Red Boat is compliant) to help. But yes, a 1:1 works for coconut aminos: soy sauce.

Nom Nom Paleo has a "recipe" for cauliflower fried rice and it calls for both coconut aminos and fish sauce. I'm having cauliflower fried rice and chicken "teriyaki" for lunches this week (I'm post-whole30 and the teriyaki sauce has honey, but the rest is completely compliant...could probably make the sauce without the honey and have it be fully compliant  )
