Shabbat Menu - Grilled Marinated London Broil

Even Manna get's boring. In this week’s parsha, the false memory of an Egyptian bounty of fish, cucumbers, watermelons, leeks, onions and garlic leads the people to beg for meat instead of manna. ...

Recipe

Kosher Fish Sauce

This is a home-made kosher substitute for Vietnamese (nuoc mam) or Thai (nam pla) fish sauce. To be honest it's not a great substitute, but it's acceptable if you need a kosher alternative or if you just can't find it in your neighborhood.

Times

Ready Time : 0 min

Servings

Ingredients

1 tin anchovies in oil
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
3 tablespoons soy sauce
dash Worcestershire sauce

Directions

Warm the olive and sesame oil gently in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the anchovies and let them simmer. They will start to break apart; as they cook break them up futher with a stiff spatula. Cook 8 minutes then remove from heat and allow to cool. Whisk in the powdered mustard, followed by the soy and Worcestershire.

Pour into a blender and blend a few seconds until smooth.

But what I need is a kosher “fish” sauce substitute that I can use for fleishigs. So many chicken or meat curries to try that call for nam pla. What do you suggest other than soy sauce and lime juice mixed.

I did find kosher nam pla in Israel…but it’s only for parve or milchigs.

We took a vegan Thai cooking class in Thailand so that we could bring the recipes back to our kosher kitchen. Our instructor substituted miso paste for the fish sauce.

For recipes that call for fish sauce, I usually use one part rice vinegar to three parts tamari.
