Frequently Asked Questions
Can I substitute cauliflower rice?

What’s a good soy sauce alternative?
Try tamari or coconut aminos for a gluten-free, lower-sodium option without sacrificing umami flavor.

Omit the chicken and use extra veggies or tofu. Increase the egg or add edamame for more protein.
