Place 100g of dried shiitake mushrooms into a pot. Add 1L of water to the pot. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 15-20 minutes.

After simmering, carefully strain the mushrooms from the liquid, discarding the mushrooms and reserving the liquid.

Pour the strained shiitake liquid back into a clean pot. Add 100g of soy sauce to the liquid. Simmer this mixture over medium-low heat until the volume is reduced by half. This will concentrate the flavors.

Taste the reduced vegetarian fish sauce and adjust the seasoning if desired. Allow it to cool completely before storing. Store the finished product in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
