    Tamari is a alternative to soy sauce. Most brands are Gluten Free which is not the case for Soy Sauce.

    Chia seed paste is a wonderful alternative for some recipes if you don’t want to use eggs... so for this recipe if you wanted it to be VEGAN, chia paste would be perfect. Simply combine 1 Tbsp ground chia seeds with 1 cup of water. Mix well and allow to set for 3-5 minutes.
