- Add your favorite vegetables: In addition to the vegetables listed in the recipe, you can also add other vegetables that you like, such as broccoli, carrots, or bell peppers.
- Adjust the spice level to your taste: If you like spicy food, you can add more red pepper flakes or Sriracha sauce to the sauce. If you don't like spicy food, you can omit the red pepper flakes or Sriracha sauce.
