Tips:
- Use a variety of vegetables. This recipe calls for broccoli, carrots, and red bell peppers, but you can use any vegetables you like. Some other good options include green beans, snap peas, and corn.
- Adjust the heat level to your liking. If you like your food spicy, add more red pepper flakes or chili powder. If you prefer a milder dish, reduce the amount of spice.
