  • When selecting the chicken thighs, make sure they are fresh and not frozen.
  • When purchasing the prawns, make sure they are fresh and smell good.

  • Instead of chicken thighs, use tofu for a vegetarian-friendly option. The benefit of this substitution is that it provides a source of plant-based protein that is just as filling as chicken. It also makes the dish much more accessible for those who do not eat meat.
  • Instead of shrimp, use tempeh for a vegan-friendly option. The benefit of this substitution is that it has a similar texture and flavor to shrimp, but without any animal products. It also adds a boost of plant-based protein to the dish.
