Re: Thai Cooking, Vegetarian Style

[Kate Bilinski <twix@xxxxxxxxx>]

I rely heavily on _Real Vegetarian Thai_ by Nancie McDermott.  She says

	To replace fish sauce, I arrived at a simple formula of 	increasing the
salt while adding vegetable broth and a 
	little soy sauce.  In some cases, where an especially 
	pungent, over-the-top saltiness in required, a touch 
	of Asian bean sauce can be included.

According to her, fish sauce is a seasoning.
