Can I make this dish ahead of time?

What can I substitute for chicken?

To create a vegetarian option, tofu or tempeh can be excellent substitutes. They absorb flavors beautifully and provide a hearty texture.

How can I control the spice level in this recipe?

You can adjust the spice level by adding more or less sweet Thai chili sauce or omitting it altogether. Alternatively, consider adding fresh or dried chilies to increase heat.

Is this recipe gluten-free?

To make this recipe gluten-free, use a gluten-free soy sauce or tamari instead of regular soy sauce.
