Notes
Serve over steamed rice or noodles to soak up the sauce. Pair with stir-fried vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal. To prevent overcrowding the skillet, cook in batches if necessary. For a thicker sauce, mix cornstarch with water and add to the sauce while simmering. Add red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
