Notes

Substitutions

  • Frozen peas - substitute fresh peas (Since fresh takes longer to cook, add with the rest of the vegetables instead of at the end.)
  • Coconut aminos - substitute soy sauce, amino acids, or Worcestershire sauce
  • Coconut oil - substitute butter

Store

  • Refrigerate leftovers 3-5 days.
  • Freeze up to 3 months
