All sweeteners. All soya. All vegetable oil except olive or coconut oils. I just try to cook from scratch as much as possible (and that's not American cook from scratch where you add a packet of ranch seasoning and onion powder rather than the onion).

No soy sauce 😮

As much as I try to avoid say, I do enjoy a bit of soy sauce with Asian dishes. I don't understand why soy and palm oil has to be in everything these day though, like in chocolate.

Coconut aminos are a good alternative to soy sauce, though a little pricy. Less sodium and a little more sweet.

Gross, it's too sweet. I'd use Worcestershire, anchovy paste, or just MSG instead, but those don't replace soy sauce as a dipping sauce. You know I don't like fish sauce, but that'd be an option otherwise too for cooking.
This actually looks like it may be a perfect replacement: TAKAHASHI fava beans SHOYU, perfect soy sauce taste, Soy Sauce Alternative – https://a.co/d/gqjtH5q pricey mf tho

I don't think it's too sweet, a lot of dipping sauce recipes using soy sauce call for added sugar.

Soya isn't an additive in soy sauce. It's it main ingredient.

I'm aware, but it's the most useful form of soy. Not eating tofu is easy, but soy sauce is so common in savory dishes. Mexican dishes don't taste right without the soy sauce / Knorr bouillon that is so commonly used in their country imo, to say nothing of asian cooking.
