That looks SO GOOD.

It's looking more and more like soy is out for me. Haven't tested the beans yet, but if they don't do me too badly, I will be asking for this recipe.

Must be one of those DIY asian food days... I'm going to attempt lo mein for dinner tonight.

But after seeing that pic fried rice is sounding better and better...

Yay! congrats, and good job! Did you like how it tasted? Did it taste like real soy sauce?

I can't remember what real soy sauce tastes like. I've gotten used to just using chili, garlic, ginger, and sesame for stir-fries, with a bit of seaweed thrown in for umami. (Or MSG, but I'm trying to avoid MSG while pregnant.)

It has a fermented, savory tang to it. It's not as salty as I seem to remember soy sauce tasting. It's closer to what I vaguely remember the reduced-sodium SanJ Tamari tasting like.
