Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, simply omit the cashews or replace them with roasted chickpeas for crunch.

Use tamari instead of soy sauce and check that your vegan chicken strips are gluten-free.

Firm tofu or tempeh cut into strips are excellent substitutes and will absorb the sauce well.

You can chop all vegetables and mix the sauce a day ahead. Combine and roast just before serving for best texture.
