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.
