Chef tips

Mise en place: chop and weigh before cooking so you don't run over time.
Taste for salt at the end; broths and canned foods already add sodium.
For meal prep, keep dressings separate until serving.

Variations

Substitutions for a vegan version

Instead of: animal protein from the recipe

Use: tempeh, smoked tofu or cooked legumes in the same quantity

Why: Animal protein provides amino acids and umami; tempeh or legumes cover both protein and satiety.

Tip: Marinate the tempeh for 10 minutes with soy sauce and garlic before sautéing for a more intense flavor.

Other variations

Lighter version: reduce oil to 1 tablespoon and increase vegetables in Prawns on the Grill with Lemon.
Batch cook: double quantities and store in containers for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
