Notes
This versatile recipe can be customized with different proteins like chicken or tofu, and various vegetables such as mushrooms or bok choy. For extra heat, add sriracha or chili garlic sauce. The dish pairs well with cucumber salad, miso soup, or garlic-sautéed bok choy. Using low-sodium soy sauce helps control saltiness. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
