- For an extra kick of heat, add more sliced red chili or sprinkle some chili flakes on top before serving.
- Adjust the spiciness according to your preference by increasing or decreasing the amount of chili bean paste.
- If you prefer a milder flavor, you can substitute the chili bean paste with a milder chili sauce.
- Feel free to add your favorite vegetables, such as bell peppers or bok choy, to the stir-fry for added freshness and crunch.
- To make it more substantial, you can add a fried egg or serve the dish with a side of steamed vegetables.
