Notes

We served it with white rice. But there are lots of options. Here is our recommendation if you want to mix and match.
  • Grains like steamed, cooked, or fried white rice, brown rice, quinoa, buckwheat, millet, or a combination of them. 
  • Riced veggies like cauliflower rice or sweet potato rice
  • Noodles like soba aka buckwheat noodles. 
  • Toppings like sliced green onion or scallions or sprouts, or fresh cilantro.
