Recipe Help
- → Can I use ground pork instead of turkey?
Ground pork works beautifully and adds extra richness. Cook until browned completely, about 6-7 minutes, and drain excess fat before adding vegetables.
- → Is this dish freezer-friendly?
Yes, it freezes well for up to 3 months. Let it cool completely, portion into airtight containers, and thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
- → What vegetables can I add?
Bell peppers, snap peas, mushrooms, or bean sprouts make excellent additions. Add them during the last 3-4 minutes of cooking to maintain crisp texture.
- → How do I make it spicier?
Add sriracha, red pepper flakes, or fresh diced chili peppers when cooking the garlic and ginger. Start with ½ teaspoon and adjust to your heat preference.
- → Can I meal prep this dish?
Absolutely. Portion into containers and refrigerate for up to 4 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat or microwave for 2-3 minutes, stirring halfway through.
- → What's the best soy-free alternative?
Coconut aminos provide a similar umami flavor with slightly more sweetness. Use the same amount as soy sauce, adding extra if needed after tasting.
