Question: What if I can’t find certain ingredients in my supermarket?<br />

across the country or may cost more than you want to pay. Here are some<br />

suggestions for alternatives:<br />

Fish sauce: For 1 tablespoon of fish sauce, use ½ tablespoon anchovy paste<br />

(see below), ½ teaspoon soy sauce, and 1 teaspoon stock or broth.<br />

Hoisin sauce: For 1 tablespoon Hoisin sauce, substitute ½ tablespoon lite soy<br />

sauce, 1 teaspoon sugar, and ¼ teaspoon ground ginger.<br />

of sugar.<br />

Asian hot chili sauce: Substitute regular chili sauce.<br />

Green curry paste: For 1 tablespoon green curry paste, substitute ½ tablespoon<br />

yellow curry powder thinned with 1–2 teaspoons water.<br />

Ginger root: For 1 tablespoon fresh ginger root, substitute 1 teaspoon ginger<br />

powder. Fresh ginger root also can be stored in the freezer for up to 1 year and<br />

grated as needed.<br />

Anchovy paste: Use an equal amount of mashed canned anchovy fillets.<br />
