Caveats & tips

  • Increase umami: Adding 4 T of bone broth to the marinade really brings out the flavor.
  • Adjusting spiciness: Leave out the green chile seeds for less heat, or add one or two for more.
  • Light snacks: It's not as filling as rice, so it's a great snack for long drinks.
  • Veggie variations: Cucumber - you can substitute lettuce or chives for the leaves.
