    What is mountain gold sauce?

      Hi Lisa,

      Mountain Gold Sauce is made of fermented soy beans and salt. However, this sauce is both saltier and sweeter than soy sauce and is much less well known in North America, although it has been used for over 100 years in Thailand. This can also be used as a substitute for fish sauce. You can find it in Asian grocery stores in glass containers. The sauce itself is quite dark. When you use it be sure to add it in small amounts and mix, because it is quite flavorful, you want to be careful not to over use.

      We will be releasing a new website in October with all this information and more on the ingredients in our recipes. Keep an eye out!

      • Hi,
        You mentioned using Mountain Gold sauce as a substitute for fish sauce, which I planned to use as a substitute for oyster sauce since we don’t eat shellfish. Should I just double-up or go ahead and use both fish sauce and Mountain Gold assuming I can find it here in the wilds of urban Kentucky?
