    Substituting light soy sauce for fish sauce works just as well in almost every recipe

    I substituted soy sauce for the fish sauce. Delicious salad but the flavour did not keep for long. Don't prepare too far in advance.

    we made this as part of an oriental themed barbie and went down a treat. As recommended we didn't use as much fish sauce as the recipe and it was all the better for it. Delicious!
