How do I edit ingredients? I don’t want to use chicken, cashews, or fish sauce which will affect carb grams and calories

  No fish sauce. Maybe coconut amino ( like soy sauce), maybe chopped Brazil nuts or pine nuts bc there buttery like cashews. No chicken try beef w some extra spice to it like saracha. Or turkey as is. Or shredded pork. Just ideas.

  You can copy the recipe. Then in your copy you can edit anything. I change the name, ingredients and sometimes add a note for anything I want to remember.

  I use chicken bouillon instead if it’s important. This is just for the dressing. I’d just leave it out and add a bit of water if needed.

Could I replace the golden syrup with maple syrup or would this alter the taste too much?

  Golden syrup is similar to Agave nectar/syrup. I get it at Aldi's.

  I’m not making golden syrup. That would be dangerous for me. I’d make the dressing without golden syrup or fish sauce (because I don’t have those things in my kitchen). Then if it needs “something”, I’d add one or more of these things: salt, soy sauce, chicken bouillon, liquid stevia or monk fruit.

  Thank you! I really want to try this and was hesitating because it’s a lot less meat, a lot more veg, and a lot more work than what we usually eat. But it sure looks good for something different. So I’ll put it on my “try this” list. 😍

  On the top, far, right side of recipe, next to heart emoji, there’s 3 vertical dots. Tap them 4a drop down menu: quick edit, share, print, copy, or submit report. Tap share and enter their info. If not on CM, they’ll get a link. But to open they’ll need a CM profile & account. 🙄🙄 But tapping “print” is easier. Recipe loads, u download, save recipe then share recipe via text or email! 🙂
