Notes

Use high-quality, fresh ingredients for the best flavor. You can substitute shrimp with chicken, tofu, or tempeh. Keep the dressing separate during meal prep to prevent sogginess. Adding toasted sesame seeds or nuts can give your bowl a delightful crunch. This dish can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
