Notes
Ingredient swap ideas:
- Want a different protein? Try using beef or tofu instead of chicken.
- Don't have lemongrass? Use a squeeze of fresh lime juice instead towards the end of cooking.
- Swap the noodles for rice or udon noodles for a change of pace.
- Add some heat with more chili flakes or sliced jalapeños.
- Steamed dumplings or bao for a fun contrast in texture
- A simple green salad with a light vinaigrette
- Crispy fried shallots or garlic for added crunch
- A side of pickled ginger or kimchi for an extra kick
