🐟Fish🥛Milk🌰Sesame🌱Soy🌾WheatSwaps and substitutions
For dairy-free needs, no change is needed, but if you avoid fish, use firm tofu or tempeh in place of the tilapia for a similar protein boost. For sesame or soy allergies, swap the sesame oil and soy sauce for avocado oil and coconut aminos, and use another green vegetable if green beans are off your menu.
What to serve with it
Serve with a crisp cucumber salad or quick-pickled carrots to echo the bright, savory flavors and add freshness. A simple miso soup or extra steamed greens also rounds out the rice bowl without overpowering the fish.
