If the fish sauce flavor is too strong for you, use less amount. You could use Thai fish sauce or anchovy fish sauce, but I don’t know much about eel fish sauce.

I’ve got a question!.

How salty is fish sauce?. As salty as soy sauce? or is fish sauce more salty or less salty than soy sauce?. I want to make kimchi, but I think I won’t be using fish sauce. I’ve seen some people have used soy sauce with kimchi, but I want to make sure on the quantity I’ll be using.

Hi maangchi! Is fish sauce the same as “salted anchovy sauce”, or is that a specialized kind?

You could use salt or soy sauce instead of fish sauce. Don’t forget to make delicious stock before adding the soft tofu.

Hi Maangchi! I finally decided to go out and buy some ingredients to cook some of your recipes!

But I have a question about the fish sauce! Will the soft tofu stew taste different if I don’t add the fish sauce ?

Actually I’ve never tried tra chang but heard it’s a good brand. I did however, purchase the 3 crabs brand since thats what the Korean market had. They also had Tiparos. Do you have to refrigerate it or is it shelf stable?
