Vegetable laksa: vege subsititute for fish sauce?

Hi, I just found a recipe for vegetable laksa that I would love to try, but it uses 1 Tbsp of fish sauce. Is there any vegetarian seasoning I can use as a substitute! TIA :-)

maybe leave it out or google fish sauce substitute

Use light soy sauce.

Thank you! I had no idea you could use straight soy instead.

Have also just googled as suggested (why didn't I think of that myself!!) and found 2 parts soy to 1 part lime juice, could be an interesting experiment.

Thank you both! (Edited for typo).

Recently I found a recipe for a veg fish sauce on the net, sorry I cant remember where but I think it had kelp or seaweed in it.Not sure that soy and lime juice would be a substitute really.

dash of sesame oil plus a dash of lime juice
