FAQ

Are the herbs used organic in this recipe?

Yes, while only 'organic ground chicken' is explicitly mentioned as organic, it's crucial to use organic garlic and ginger for a truly clean eating experience to avoid pesticides and other harmful chemicals.

Can I substitute avocado oil with another oil?

While you can use other oils like olive or sesame, avocado oil is preferred here due to its stable smoke point and nutty flavor, making it a cleaner choice without altering the recipe's integrity significantly.
