Day 1 Mock Soy Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients together until well blended and salt is dissolved.
• Recipezaar doesn't recognize the vitamin C crystals, but they are available at natural food stores and online. Ecological Formulas brand Buffered Vitamin C Crystals is corn-free.
• You can use white vinegar in place of the water and Vitamin C crystals, we don't do this because of a corn allergy.
• Check that the onion powder and garlic powder don't have dextrose added for better flow if you also have a corn allergy.

Steps:

• In a saucepan over medium heat, stir together the beef bouillon, balsamic vinegar, molasses, ginger, white pepper, garlic powder and water. Boil gently until liquid is reduced to about 1 cup, about 15 minutes.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, dissolve bouillon in boiling water. Stir in the remaining ingredients. Pour into a jar with a tight-fitting lid. Store in the refrigerator. Shake well before using.

Steps:

• Mix 1/3 cup mock soy sauce, garlic, 1/4 cup sugar, water and ginger together in a bowl.
• Add pork pieces and marinade in refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
• At medium heat, add 1 Tablespoon of sesame oil to a large nonstick pan. Make sure it's nonstick because the sugar in the marinade is a nightmare otherwise.
• Add the pork pieces, allowing any excess marinade to drip off before adding the pork to the pan. Throw out the marinade when all pork pieces are in the pan.
• Cook the pieces about 10 minutes or so, stirring and turning pieces to get all the sides.
• While the pork is cooking, get a small bowl and mix 1/3 cup mock soy sauce, 1/3 cup sesame oil and 1/4 cup turbinado sugar, making sure all the sugar is dissolved.
• Boil noodles and drain, then place in a large bowl.
• Pour the sauce mixture over the noodles and toss with the green onions and sesame seeds.
• As the pork pieces finish cooking, add to the noodles and then serve.
• When I say wheat pasta I am talking about semolina, durum or any type of Asian noodle that uses only wheat flour and water -- no eggs. This recipe needs a noodle like thin spaghetti or angel hair, but thicker noodles work fine. I would not use shaped pasta like penne or macaronis.
• If you leave the ginger in, don't have it again for 4 days (or turmeric or cardamon).
• I have submitted the recipe for mock soy sauce (recipe #256996). We use that because we can't have soy and wheat on the same days.
