Notes
- For a low-carb option, swap rice or quinoa with cauliflower rice.
- Experiment with different vegetables like snap peas, bell peppers, broccoli, or pineapple.
- Substitute chicken breasts with thighs for more flavor, or use tofu or chickpeas for a plant-based version.
- Make your own hot honey by mixing honey with chili flakes or hot sauce.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Reheat gently in a skillet over medium heat to preserve texture.
- For best results, keep rice or quinoa separate and add sauce just before eating.
- Ensure soy sauce is gluten-free (like tamari or coconut aminos) for a gluten-free meal.
