Hi
I’m crazy allergic to msg and other “free” glutamates. The fish sauce has msg in it–any suggestions for a substitution?
I would replace it with some soy sauce…although if you can’t find any MSG free soy sauce, just omit it completely.
Have you ever tried doing a warm salad with this. How did it turn out. It looks very appetizing.

In the recipe, the steak is hot off the grill, sliced and placed over everything – and tastes amazing in this cold/hot combination! It would be just as great as a completely cold salad too, to take as a picnic lunch. Hope you like it as much as I do 🙂
