Notes
Crunchy Toppings - Add extra crunch and flavor by topping the slaw with crushed peanuts, toasted sesame seeds, crispy fried shallots, or crunchy chow mein noodles.
Fresh Additions - Incorporate fresh herbs like cilantro, Thai basil, or mint for an added burst of freshness and flavor. You can also add thinly sliced jalapeños or red chili peppers for a spicy kick.
Protein Options - Instead of chicken thighs, you can use chicken breast, grilled shrimp, thinly sliced beef or pork, or tofu for a vegetarian option. Marinate the protein in Asian-inspired flavors for added taste.
For the Slaw - You can buy this in most grocery stores. I like to buy a rainbow slaw which consists of shredded carrot, red cabbage and kale (rainbow slaw). You can also buy these ingredients separately and cut the up finely yourself, as this would be a lot more affordable!
MEASUREMENTS:
I always recommend using a kitchen weighing scale and using weighted measurements. This will result in a more accurate process and the recipe will come out perfectly.
