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 stir-frying for a more intense flavor.

Other variations

Lighter version: reduce oil to 1 tablespoon and increase vegetables in Salmon and Mango Poke Bowl.
