I'm not a fan of wasabi, so I omitted it from the recipe. The dish was still very flavorful without it.

I'm allergic to avocado, so I used cucumber instead. It was a great substitute and the dish was still very delicious.

I followed the recipe exactly and the scallops turned out rubbery. I think I might have overcooked them.
