Tips & Substitutions
For a spicier kick, increase the amount of crushed red pepper or add some Sriracha to the soy mixture. You can substitute chicken breasts with thighs for a juicier texture. If you don't have peanut oil, vegetable or canola oil works as a good alternative. Be sure to prep all ingredients before starting to cook, as stir-frying goes quickly.
