Tips and Tricks
- Veggie Texture: fry the vegetables just enough to maintain their crispness. Overcooking vegetables can make them mushy, which makes the dish feel bad.
- Protein Variations: You can experiment with different proteins. Tofu is a great vegetarian substitute, and you can also use beef or even fish in place of chicken or shrimp.
- Spice Level: Adjust the chili flakes to your preference. If you want a spicier dish, you can even add fresh chopped chilies or hot sauce.
- Noodles: For a different twist, you can use egg noodles or even rice noodles instead of boiled Pasta. It adds a unique texture and distinct flavor.
