Notes

For extra flavor, toast a teaspoon of sesame seeds and sprinkle them over the finished dish. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat gently to preserve texture. Adjust sriracha to suit your preferred spice level. Serve with jasmine or basmati rice for best results, or try brown rice for a healthier option.
