I love the versatility of this recipe. The first time I made this, I did it exactly to the recipe and we loved it. This time I was in a rush and I didn’t have peppers or bok choy so I used julienned radishes and arugula in their place. We like it a bit spicier so I added 2t of chili oil and 1/2t of Sriracha. I also added one while lime juiced. No peanuts, no problem! I substituted chopped pistachios in their place. We actually liked them better! I also toasted the sesame seeds in a drizzle of hoisin sauce. Definitely will make again.
