Homemade Vegan Fish Sauce

Vegan Fish Sauce Cubes

Mmm…fishy ice cubes. Yes, that’s what I’m cookin’ up in my kitchen today! Yum, yum, give you some, right? Hah! I always make up a big batch of vegan fish sauce whenever a recipe calls for it, and then I end up using like 2 tablespoons of it and losing the rest of it to the refrigerator monster (it gets lost somewhere in the back for so long that I end up dumping it out).

But no more fishy sauce for you, fridge yeti! I came up with a master plan to elude you. I’m trying out a new recipe that makes a ton of vegan fish sauce (about 2 cups). And…wait for it…I’m freezing it in tiny 1 tablespoon ice cubes in my ice cube trays.

Then, the next time I make a recipe calling for fish sauce, not only do I not have to look up the recipe, but I also can just thaw out a cube or two and be done! Win!
