You don’t always have to do exactly what the recipe says. It’s all about knowing what you can substitute when.
- The recipe calls for rice vinegar, but you only have wine vinegar in the house. They do differ, yes, but they can be switched out if you’re in a pickle.
- Fresh out of sesame oil? If you’re frying at a high temperature, peanut oil works just as well.
- Forgot to put fresh chillies and garlic on your grocery list? Don’t stress – simply use dried chilli and garlic flakes.
- If you only have a lemon in the house and the recipe calls for a lime, relax. Use the lemon instead.
