Substitutions

• Soy sauce: You can use Worcestershire if you do not have soy sauce
• Sesame oil: The best substitute for sesame oil is perilla oil.  
• Brown sugar: If you would rather skip the sugar, use maple syrup or honey
• Rice vinegar: If you would rather not use vinegar, lemon juice works well

Variations

Cooking is a chance to be creative! Have fun with it and feel free to make your own variation.

• Spicy - add chili pepper flakes while cooking to imbue heat into the dish.
• Deluxe - add broccoli, bean sprouts, edamame or scallions.
• Kid friendly - Chop up the vegetables finely as a great way to get your kids to eat their veggies!

Equipment

Equipment can have a big impact on how a recipe turns out. Stone bakeware takes longer to heat up than metal pans, and also retain heat for longer, which could make the recipe more watery, or burnt on the outsides.

I love using my Caraway pots, pans and baking sheets for best quality. Get yourself a discount by clicking here!

Storage

This will be good in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.

These ingredients don't stand up well to freezing.
