Variations & Tips
For a vegetarian version, substitute the ground beef with crumbled tofu or tempeh. You can also add more vegetables like broccoli, snap peas, or mushrooms for extra nutrition. If you prefer a spicier dish, add a teaspoon of chili paste or a dash of hot sauce to the sauce mixture. For a gluten-free option, use rice noodles and tamari instead of soy sauce.
