Tips
- For a vegetarian protein boost, consider adding tofu or tempeh to the stir fry.
- Feel free to experiment with other vegetables like snow peas, carrots, or broccoli for added nutrition.
- If you prefer a milder flavor, reduce the amount of Sriracha and add a pinch of red pepper flakes instead.
