Sauce Options
If you don’t have any sesame oil on hand, or would rather use an alternative, try using coconut oil. Coconut oil is great to cook with and is rich in fatty acids. Coconut oil has a subtle, nutty flavor when used in cooking, not a strong taste. If you want to boost the coconut notes, garnish each dish with some coconut flakes.
Adding soy sauce to this, or any dish you make, is a great way to add salty flavor without having to reach for the table salt. Adding some soy sauce to the pan towards the end of the preparation period is a great way to distribute flavor evenly. Soy sauce enhances the flavors in a dish and, if you’re trying to cut back on sodium but still want that salty taste, you can use a variety of soy sauce that has reduced sodium content.
For something a little different, try our Rice-Stuffed Eggplant Parmesan.
