Notes

Coconut aminos is a soy sauce alternative that has less sodium, does not contain soy, and is a healthy alternative. It is sweeter and more mild than soy sauce. You can use a low sodium soy sauce in its place, but you will likely have to reduce the amount and possibly add a bit of honey to impart the same flavor.
