Ingredient Substitutes

Arrowroot Powder (thickening agent) Substitutes:

  • All-Purpose Flour – most common thickening agent
  • Tapioca Starch – best substitute for arrowroot powder
  • Cornstarch – popular arrowroot powder substitute, but not as nutritious

Bragg’s Liquid Aminos Substitutes

  • Tamari – gluten free, rich taste
  • Soy Sauce – common, saltier than the other two option
