Swaps and substitutions

For dairy-free needs, swap the sour cream for a plain plant-based yogurt or skip it and add extra lemon for brightness. If you avoid fish, use firm tofu or a mild white bean topping; for heat-sensitive eaters, choose a mild spice blend and leave out the hot sauce.

What to serve with it

Serve with a crisp green salad or simple roasted vegetables to lighten the rich, spicy flavors. A cool drink like iced tea or a citrusy sparkling water also works well alongside the bright lemon rice.
