What to Serve It With

Tips & Mistakes

Well, I once added way too much ginger, and my mouth felt like it was on fire — so watch that. But add enough to give it a good punch.

Storage Tips

Shove whatever’s left in any container that has a matching lid. Store it in the fridge, though honestly, I’ve eaten this cold out of desperation and it was… actually okay. Totally approved for breakfast too. No walk of shame here.

Variations and Substitutions

When our fridge looks like a post-apocalyptic scene, I’ve swapped chicken for chickpeas — surprisingly good. No lemon? Try a splash of vinegar. And if you’re out of ginger, I have no hope for you. Yes, it’s that crucial.
