How to use this guide

Use a shiitake-and-kelp broth or an unsalted vegetable stock, matching the liquid volume required by the recipe. Season only after the rest of the dish is cooked.

What changes and what to check

The fish character will be replaced by a mushroom flavor. Changing the stock alone does not remove seafood or animal ingredients from pastes, salted shrimp or fish cakes.
