Notes on ingredients & substitutions
Chicken
Chicken wings are really cheap to buy, I got mine at Waitrose and they are organic. You could also use the thigh or leg if you want a more substantial meal.
Soy sauce
Use Tamari or coconut aminos if you cannot do gluten.
Tamari can be bought at most supermarkets or online here.
Coconut aminos online take a look here.
Sesame oil
Buy toasted sesame oil as it has such a depth of flavour. Found in most supermarkets.
I buy many of my ingredients from Well Easy, a discounted online health food shop. Most products are cheaper than anywhere else, and they have over 50 filters, so shopping for allergy-friendly ingredients got a lot easier. If your health conscious, you will just love the brands and products that well easy offer. You can also get £10 off your first order if you enter my discount code KAM10 at the checkout.
