Notes
Ingredient Substitution Notes
- Sweet potatoes. yams, purple sweet potatoes and white sweet potatoes all work well.
- Zucchini/Bell Peppers/Broccoli. Choose your favorite vegetables. Some suggestions for substitutions include: water chestnuts, carrots, yellow squash, mushrooms, baby corn, asparagus, etc.
- Honey. granulated sugar or brown sugar work well in place of honey.
- Sesame oil/peanut oil. both are used in this recipe and impart an authentic asian flavor. You can use all sesame or all peanut. or use olive oil in place of one or both of the oils (although the final flavor profile will be different).
- Powdered ginger. fresh minced ginger is a good substitute for powdered.
- Rice vinegar. mirin is a good substitute.
