Less Common Ingredient Replacements

We all know that certain ingredients can be tricky to get a hold of, so we’ll provide you with the best replacements for each specialty ingredient below.

Chinese Mustard – This is a mustard powder made from ground brown mustard seeds. It has a spicy kick and a slight tanginess behind the spicy kick. You can find this in most Asian supermarkets, and it takes a long time in your pantry. You can replace this with any other hot mustard powder or mild if you prefer not to have a spicy kick!

Ghee – Is a clarified butter with the vast majority of its lactose and casein removed (a milk protein); this allows it to be cooked at a high heat without burning like butter. Ghee is now popular in most big grocery stores and specialty stores. The best replacement for ghee in this recipe would be a neutral, high smoke point oil like canola, vegetable or sunflower oil.

Expert Tips and Tricks

Use a Seasoned Wok

If you want to get the most flavor out of your buck, a seasoned wok is the way to go! Even the most simple dishes cooked in a seasoned wok can have a ton of flavor.

We recommend investing in a high-quality wok because in reality, you don’t want to replace them regularly!

Fresh Vegetables

We recommend using fresh vegetables for this Asian broccoli salad because we love this recipe’s slight al dente and fresh crunch. Frozen vegetables tend to have a softer bite once cooked.
