My husband and I have stopped eating mushrooms since mid of last year. We realized that mushrooms do not have the characteristic of herbs/ plant that the Most High YHWH gave us as guidance of what clean to eat. We also stopped eating seaweed.

I just wanted to thank you so much. My husband is deathly allergic to shellfish and I wanted to try some chinese recipes at home, but didn’t have a replacement for Oyster Sauce. And my kids are allergic to Soy so I’ve had to learn how to make substitutes for every other sauce.

I just made a variation of a chiken and brocoli recipe and used a Miso soup mix (that has the different bean pastes in it), soy sauce, a little water, and about 1/4th a cup of chicken broth. It came out very good.

ok i have a question i have a recipe for oriental Hot & Spicy Chicken. It contains Oyster Sauce and Horsin Sauce, what can i substitute in it’s place. i am allergic to mushrooms so that is no good.
Would celery soup or chicken broth work?

Suggestions please.. thanks.

To be fair, vegans have other uses too. For example, each vegan at the dinner table increases the portion of meat available to me.

I agree with Rebecca – I would think that someone cooking in a kosher kitchen would appreciate the importance of diversity, and wouldn’t want to perpetuate negative stereotypes.

Good to know there are substitutes for oyster sauce, but I don’t know why you had to make a comment like “the only reason” you’re grateful for vegans is for producing substitutes for trafe.

Wow! I”ve been searching and searching for an ‘oyster sauce’ substitute that I can use in my kosher kitchen! I hope this works!

Just wanted to tell you that I visited Boston last week, and I found kosher ‘oyster sauce’ at the Butcherie in Brookline. It is in a refrigerated case near the deli counter. I haven’t cooked with it yet, but it tastes good and fairly authentic if memory serves…
