Liquid Aminos instead of Soy Sauce?

[LilyR]

I think I remember reading from some of you here that you use some flavorings other than soy, like liquid aminos?  At the time I was overwhelmed with getting used to gluten-free eating, so I skipped over that. But now I am curious about it.  Is there something that has a similar flavor as soy sauce, but that has no soy in it?  What are liquid aminos and do you use them much in your cooking, and if so, what types of recipes?  More like recipes that normally call for soy sauce?  There is a stir fry I make that I'd love to find something to put in it other than soy sauce.  Normally I love the flavor with the soy sauce, a little honey, red pepper flakes, and some ginger.  But I am trying to rid my diet of all soy right now.  

Do you have a brand or flavor you like best?  Any that you've found that taste similar to soy sauce?

Coconut secret...only ones I use even in catering. I have whole sale set ups with them lol Use just like stir fry and soy sauce, the garlic and teriyaki are great this way.

Thanks for that info.  I am seeing a 3-pack on amazon and it has the teriyaki, garlic, and then one called original coconut aminos.  Would the original be similar in taste to soy sauce?  

Also going to their website, their coconut snack bars look good too.  Have you had any of those?  If so, did you like them.  Speaking of bars,  I am seeing some called Larabar in a local sale flyer that look to be gluten-free, soy-free, and dairy-free.  I am going to try those.  Only thing is so full of ingredients like nuts and dates with the fiber in them, hopefully I am okay with it.  They sound really good though.  Have you ever tried those?

My Ulcerative Colitis reacts to sugars, and some starches....I am fine with all the fiber in the world minus the sugars that cause UC flares, fermentation and gas.
I use Juilian Bars as they lack sugar. I sometime venture a bhu bar....honestly the coconut secret ungranola bars are a genius idea. I have debating using my wholesale account to buy them and other bars/snacks I trust and stocking vending machines...they are something I would trust out of a food truck/store if I had one to give you a idea of my praise for them. Julian Bakery also makes a gluten free, grain free granola that is low carb. And I know a few other companies that make granola grain free..but loaded with sugar.
Yes the plain coconut aminos....just like soy sauce in everything. I just use a splash....sugars again but I love the flavors. These 3 sauces are in my planned food truck for stir fry bowls if I get the investors/business partners hince my accounts already set up.

A gluten-free granola sounds good.  I sure hope my stomach can start handling more fiber again soon.  Thanks for info on the aminos.  Can't wait to get them.  The teriyaki will be nice for summer cookouts too.  I hope you get all set for the food truck.  That would be great.
