Can I sub soy sauce for coconut aminos?
Yes! If you don’t have coconut aminos, it can easily be subbed for soy sauce here.
Can I sub ground beef for another meat?
Yes! Try this with ground chicken or pork! You can also try this with a plant based meat as well.
How to reheat for leftovers:
This is best the day of or next day after fixing! If you’d like to reheat, I recommend putting your serving in the microwave to heat up. You may want to add more coconut aminos on the day you reheat.
What I used to make this recipe:
- Non-stick pot
- Stasher Bags to keep leftover veggies fresh
- OXO storage containers to keep leftovers fresh!
