Avoiding Additives and Preservatives
Use tamari instead of soy sauce, which usually contains MSG or sodium benzoate. I use Marukan rice vinegar and frozen shrimp with nothing added. Check the cashews to make sure they are additive-free. For more recipes using all-natural ingredients, visit Eye For A Recipe.
