Low Carb and Paleo Swaps
I found that rice or vegetable noodles (get this amazing vegetable spiralizer to make your own vegetable noodles) were perfect for swaps for wheat noodles. I also foundCoconut Aminos– a soy sauce alternative that’s derived from coconuts and both soy free and gluten free – andOrganicville Sky Valley Sriacha hot sauce– a gluten free and preservative free Asian hot sauce. Both sauces serve as a base for many of my own Asian meals as well as those below.

Is Fish Sauce Approved on a Paleo Diet?
If fish sauce is made with just fish and salt (and possibly other natural ingredients for flavor), then it can be safely consumed on a Paleo diet. Some brands of fish sauce have sugar or chemicals like monosodium glutamate (MSG) added. Some highly processed products labeled “fish sauce” may also contain hydrolyzed wheat protein.>
If you’re following a clean or Paleo diet, avoid these additives and preservatives and look for fish sauce brands that only contain truly natural and pure ingredients. Fish sauce contains a large amount of salt, however, so if you are watching your salt intake you will want to use it sparingly.>
What Can Be Substituted for Oyster Sauce?
Most people use soy sauce as an oyster sauce substitute, as the former provides some color and flavor to the dish. You may also add half a teaspoon of sugar to gluten-free soy sauce or Tamari. Some people add a few drops of Worcestershire sauce to soy sauce, which is meant to replace oyster sauce. Just be sure you’re getting a gluten-free Worcestershire sauce.>
