Notes

As mentioned in the blog post, you can switch out the tempeh for an alternative protein source
And instead of soba noodles you can use rice or another wholegrain option of your choice.
And you can use whatever green veggies you have on hand such as;
Kale, other herbs like parsley or basil, Green capsicum, Brussel sprouts etc..
