Are there common allergens I should watch for?
Sesame is an allergen; seaweed is generally safe; check other toppings or sauces for soy, fish, or gluten.
How can I adapt this recipe (vegetarian, dairy-free, soy-free)?
Swap chicken for tofu, tempeh, or chickpeas; use dairy-free toppings; choose a soy-free dressing or omit soy sauce.
How long does it take to make?
It is quick to assemble; plan around 20-30 minutes depending on prep and cooking.
