🐟Fish🥛Milk🌰Sesame🌱Soy🌾WheatSwaps and substitutions
For a fish-free option, swap the tilapia for firm tofu or tempeh, keeping the same bold sauce profile. For soy or sesame needs, use coconut aminos instead of soy sauce and skip the sesame oil and seeds, finishing with extra lime for freshness.
What to serve with it
Serve with a crisp cucumber salad or quick-pickled radishes to brighten the rich, spicy flavors. A chilled lager, iced green tea, or steamed edamame also makes a good side.
