🥜Peanuts🌰Sesame🌱Soy🌾WheatSwaps and substitutions
For a peanut-free version, swap the peanuts for toasted sunflower or pumpkin seeds, or leave them off entirely. For gluten-free needs, use tamari in place of any soy-based glaze or paste and choose a gluten-free thickener if needed.
What to serve with it
Serve with steamed bok choy or snap peas for a fresh, crisp side that balances the heat. A simple cucumber salad or extra rice on the table helps mellow the spice and stretch the meal for bigger appetites.
