Vegan Adaptation

Make your own paste or choose a store bought paste that doesn’t contain fish sauce or shrimp paste.

Low FODMAP Adaptation

Omit garlic and substitute with 6 spring onions (green parts only), finely chopped. Try cooking with FODMAP friendly garlic infused olive oil for extra flavour.
Ensure vegetables and portions are low FODMAP e.g. capsicum, carrot, zucchini, eggplant, green beans

Protein Recommendations

Beef, tofu, chicken or fish work well!
