    Recipe Tips

    Replace the sweet potato with butternut squash if preferred. Substitute sweet chili sauce for maple syrup.

    To make red onions milder, soak them in cold water 5 minutes and drain before adding to recipe.

    Substitute

    If you can’t find Success Garden & Grains blends near you, you can substitute Success White Rice and a 1 cup of fresh or frozen Asian blend (peas, carrots, red bell pepper) vegetables. No need to thaw or precook. Just add to water in the last 3-5 minutes of preparation.
