Notes

Tamari is Japanese soy sauce made from soy with little or no wheat, while shoyu is a sweeter Japanese soy sauce made from soy and wheat.

Substitute 1 Tbs tamari with 1 Tbs shoyu, consider adding a little less sugar, or any other soy sauce.

Soy intolerance? Substitute 1 Tbs tamari with 1 tsp salt. This substitution is also recommended for young children, when there is a history of allergy in the family.
