Ingredient substitutions

Egg: For binding, use a commercial egg replacer or a small starch slurry; the flavor and texture will change.
Carrot: Bell pepper adds color but a different flavor.
Dried anchovy: Use anchovy broth or a small amount of fish sauce; the result will differ.
Soy sauce: Tamari works, though saltiness differs.
Sugar: Honey or rice syrup works with a small texture change.
