Notes

  • Hoisin Sauce Substitute – Use 2 Tablespoons and 1 Tablespoon Molasses as an easy substitute for the hoisin sauce if you can’t find it or don’t want to buy it.
  • Sherry Substitute – Use 1 teaspoon of white wine vinegar, rice vinegar, or apple cider vinegar in place of the sherry as an easy substitute. Note the recipe uses 1 Tablespoon of Sherry but if you swap it out for vinegar only use 1 teaspoon.
  • The Vegetables – Switch up the vegetables and use what your family likes. Mushrooms, broccoli, or green beans would work well in this recipe too.
