Notes
Never used fresh ginger before?
Use a spoon to peel the skin off, then you can cut into small pieces with a knife or use a grater to mince the ginger. Once you're done, you can store the rest of the ginger in the freezer!
We love the Full Circle Sweet Thai Chili sauce in this recipe! Not only is it lower in sugar than other sauces, it has fabulous flavor with a bit of a kick! The Coconut Aminos are also a great substitution for soy sauce with less sodium.
