Notes
Invent Your Recipe Swaps
• Protein: If you don't have pork, chicken breast or thin-sliced beef works just as well.
• The Sweet Factor: Out of sweet potatoes? Carrots or butternut squash give you that same earthy sweetness.
• The Greens: Swap green beans for broccoli florets or sliced bell peppers if that’s what’s in the crisper drawer.
• The Sauce: If you're out of soy sauce, a splash of balsamic vinegar and an extra pinch of salt gets you a similar savory depth.
