• Adjust the amount of chilies to your preferred spice level.

• For a vegetarian version, substitute chicken with tofu or mixed vegetables.

Recipe Variations

• Use shrimp or pork instead of chicken.

• Add other vegetables like bell peppers, green beans, or bamboo shoots.

• Serve with a fried egg on top for extra protein.
