Notes
Recipe slightly adapted: Damn Delicious
Can this dish be frozen and eaten at a later date? Does it save well for in the freezer? My daughter is having a baby and I’m trying to make some meals for her family that she can just pull out of the freezer and heat up, quick and easy with a newborn.
Thanks.
Hi Shelby,
For sure, this recipe freezes well. Take care!
Is it possible to sub out coconut sugar for the brown?
Hi Laura,
Yes, you may use coconut sugar instead of brown sugar. Enjoy!
If I dont have fresh ginger, can I use ground ginger?
Yes, you may use ground ginger instead of fresh but reduce the amount to 1/8 teaspoon.
Will it make a big difference if I omit the pepper flakes? I’m concerned it may be spicy for the kids.
Yes, you can definitely omit the pepper flakes and it will not make a big difference. I love this dish, simple and easy to make. Enjoy!
Definitely a delicious weeknight dinner.. think I need to recreate the recipe, good thing I have all the ingredients on hand!
Awesome! Enjoy 🙂
