Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the sauce for 30 minutes before cooking. You can use tofu or vegetables instead of chicken for a vegetarian option. Adjust the amount of chili flakes to control the spice level. If you want more vegetables, consider adding bell peppers, broccoli, or snap peas. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet with a splash of water or soy sauce.
