For a lighter option, you can use low-sodium soy sauce and whole wheat flour in the sauce. Feel free to customize the vegetables based on your preferences, adding bell peppers, snap peas, or water chestnuts for added crunch and flavor. Serve this stir-fry over brown rice or quinoa for a wholesome meal. Adjust the spice level by adding red pepper flakes or Sriracha if desired. Experiment with different protein options such as tofu or shrimp for a tasty variation. Enjoy the versatility of this recipe and make it your own!
