As tasty as soy sauce is, there’s no denying that many store bought brands contain just way too many harmful preservatives or additives. That’s exactly why I love to make my own with this recipe for making the best homemade soy sauce substitute.

How to Make a Soy Sauce Substitute

Combine the ingredients. Add the beef bone broth, balsamic vinegar, honey, ground ginger, garlic powder, water, and salt to a saucepan.
Boil the mixture. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat.
Let it simmer until the liquid has reduced. Reduce the heat and simmer for between 15-20 minutes or until the liquid amount has reduced in volume to about one cup.
Store until ready for use. Use immediately or transfer the soy sauce to a bottle until ready for use.
