- For a spicier kick, add a dash of hot sauce or red pepper flakes to the marinade.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix an additional teaspoon of cornstarch with a tablespoon of water and add it to the skillet during the final minutes of cooking.
- Feel free to customize the vegetable selection by adding other favorites such as snap peas or mushrooms.
