Cooking Tips
For a dairy-free option, ensure your soy sauce is naturally brewed. You can substitute coconut aminos for a sweeter profile. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Serve with a side of roasted veggies or a simple green salad to complement the meal.
