Ethnic Foods, Ingredient
Substitutions, and Package Sizes
Many ethnic ingredients are now readily available in most large
supermarkets. If you cannot find a specific ingredient listed, however,
we offer the following list of substitutions. Some foods do not have a
similar food to list as a substitution. In this case, we recommend replacing
the liquid. The final recipe will not be ethnically representative but you
may discover a new recipe with possibilities.
Curry paste = 3 parts curry
powder & 1 part chili powder
Coconut milk = Simmer equal
parts water and shredded
coconut until foamy; then strain
through cheesecloth.
Fish sauce = 1 part red wine
vinegar & 1 part soy sauce
Oyster sauce = 1 part soy sauce
& 1 part steak sauce
Bok Choy is Chinese cabbage.
Regular cabbage may be
substituted.
Scallions are also known as
green onions or spring onions.
Many recipes use a seasoning
or sauce mix which may come
in a variety of envelope sizes. If
a recipe calls for a 1.8 ounce
envelope and you can only find
1.2 ounce, the difference will
not affect the final results of
the recipe.
