All catalog alternatives

  1. Soy Sauce

    Cooking substitute

    use 3/4 as much; less funky umami, add a pinch of salt

  2. Soy Sauce Plus Lime Juice

    Cooking substitute

    3:1 soy to lime; the closest vegetarian match for salt plus sour

  3. Worcestershire Sauce

    Cooking substitute

    1:1; anchovy-based, so it carries the same savoury depth

  4. Coconut Aminos

    Cooking substitute

    use 1.5x; milder and sweeter, soy-free

This page is generated directly from the first-party substitution records used by Well Stockd’s recipe-matching engine, last regenerated July 12, 2026. Automated integrity checks remove several known-unsafe record patterns, but every listed swap has not been kitchen-tested. A catalog match is practical cooking guidance, not an allergen, medical, or nutrition equivalence. Check ingredient labels and the recipe’s structural requirements before substituting.
