How much salt do I put in?

What can I use instead?

garlic (garlic powder or a pinch of onion) → garlic powder or a pinch of onion. 1 clove ≈ ¼ tsp garlic powder. The fresh bite will be missing. onion → shallot. Shallots are sweeter. Use the same volume, or a little extra onion if that is what you have. tomato (passata or canned chopped tomatoes) → passata or canned chopped tomatoes. Canned tomatoes are often better than pale fresh ones out of season. chicken → tofu. Press firm tofu, marinate as you would the chicken, and cook until browned.
