Vegan Worcestershire sauce ingredients and tips
- Apple cider vinegar: to make this vegan Worcestershire sauce you could use other types of vinegar, such as wine vinegar.
- Soy sauce or tamari: although I used soy sauce, tamari is a good gluten-free alternative. If you don’t consume soy, coconut aminos is a great substitute. You could also add the same amount of water or vegetable stock and add more salt.
- Maple syrup: feel free to customize your vegan Worcestershire sauce with your favorite type of sweetener. Agave syrup is the best alternative though. However, granulated or brown sugar are also good choices.
- Garlic powder.
- Onion powder.
- Ground cinnamon.
- Ground black pepper: fresh ground black pepper tastes amazing. However, I find the store-bought one to be more convenient and easier to measure with a teaspoon.
- Ground ginger.
- Feel free to add this vegan Worcestershire sauce to recipes like vegan steak, vegan sausages, and cauliflower steak, or to any of your favorite dishes. Go ahead and get creative!
Is Worcestershire sauce gluten-free?
No, this vegan Worcestershire sauce is not gluten-free, because it is made with soy sauce, which contains gluten. However, it is so easy to make it suitable for people who don’t eat gluten! Just replace the soy sauce with tamari.
Does Worcestershire sauce go bad?
Yes, it can go bad but it can last for up to 3 months if stored properly. Remember to smell it before you eat it just in case it has gone bad.
Does Worcestershire sauce need to be refrigerated?
Yes! It has to be refrigerated in order to keep the best quality for a longer period of time (up to 3 months). Just keep it in an airtight container in the fridge.
