Notes

  • For a vegan version, replace honey with maple syrup and use tofu instead of chicken. Store the sealed jars in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, and shake well before eating. Serve chilled as a standalone meal, and consider adding a sprinkle of sesame seeds or crushed peanuts for extra texture and flavor.
