Some of the recipes call for soy sauce, which is not used by “ashkemazim” on Passover. Please ask your own rabbi what you use, but if you want to create a substitution, here is one. for many recipes, balsamic or red wine vinegar that is kosher for Passover can be substituted.
SOY SAUCE SUBSTITUTE:
This soy sauce substitute doesn't taste exactly like the real thing, but it makes a flavorful alternative for Pesach stir fry.
2 tablespoons beef broth
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon oil
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
black pepper to taste
1/4 cup boiling water
Combine all the ingredients. At this point, you can either a) use the sauce as is, leaving for an hour to give the flavors a chance to blend, or b) for a thicker, richer sauce, boil the liquid until it is reduced by half, about 3 tablespoons. Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator. Makes 2/3 cup. Use the sauce within 3 - 4 days.
