🥚Eggs🥛Milk🌱Soy🌾WheatSwaps and substitutions
For egg-free needs, use a binder that works in place of the ingredient that helps hold the meat together, such as a flax-based or certified egg-free alternative. For dairy-free or lighter needs, swap the creamy topping for a plain nondairy yogurt or omit it, and choose gluten-free crumbs and tamari if avoiding wheat or soy.
What to serve with it
Serve with a crisp cucumber salad or quick-pickled vegetables to cool the heat and add freshness. A simple miso soup or steamed greens also balances the rich, spicy flavors without competing with the sesame notes.
