Default Testing for nitrate

When testing for nitrate, aluminium and NaOH is add to the test substance and heat it, the aluminium will first react with the NaOH to give hydrogen and the hydrogen reduce the nitrate to ammonia.

When aluminium react with NaOH, what is the other product except hydrogen???

Al + NaOH --------> H2 + ?????????

can anyone tell me?
