Recipe Notes

  • Buy tubes of minced garlic and ginger in the produce aisle to save on chopping time.

    Add fresh herbs! Cilantro and mint are excellent additions that can be added at the end according to everyone's preferences.

    Instead of iceberg lettuce, use cabbage, romaine, butter lettuce, or look for "lettuce boats."

  • Gluten-free: Replace soy sauce with gluten-free soy sauce, such as tamari or coconut aminos.

  • Vegetarian: Replace chicken with 1 lb firm tofu, drained, crumbled, and patted dry with a paper towel.
