  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce.
  • Substitute cooked chicken or tofu for the shrimp for a vegetarian/alternative protein option.
  • These bowls are best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
