Don’t you just love the coconut aminos?!! I don’t even miss soy sauce anymore with that in my life. I think I’m about to ask them to go steady!!!
Beautiful recipe and photo as usual!!

Do you find that it doesn’t have the “punch” that soy sauce has? I find that if I convert a recipe and use coconut aminos, it doesn’t turn out as “bright” as the regular one. I think I will try Braggs and see if it turns out better. anyone experience this?

@ Tracy, I agree, coconut aminos lack the punch of soy sauce. I also considered Braggs but, since it’s totally soy, decided against it. I intend to try adding a little more salt (table or kosher, not sea) as I think that is partly what I’m missing from the coconut aminos.

Made this for dinner tonight. Can’t find coconut aminos so used wheat-free soy sauce – Bragg’s. SO DELICIOUS. I recommend this a million times over!
And I’ve shared on pretty much every FB group I’m in. ha.

Made this the other day with chicken, and tonight with shrimp. I prefer a bit more ginger than the recipe calls for, but it’s SUPER tasty as is.
