🐟Fish🥛Milk🌱Soy🌾WheatSwaps and substitutions
For dairy-free needs, this dish already fits well; for soy-free cooking, swap the soy sauce for coconut aminos or a little extra salt and lime. For fish-free meals, use tofu or chickpeas instead of tilapia and keep the rest of the flavors the same.
What to serve with it
Serve with a crisp cucumber salad or a simple cabbage slaw to balance the heat and add freshness. Extra lime wedges and a light broth-based soup also work well alongside the rice and green beans.
