Tips & Substitutions
For a thicker sauce, you can mix in a bit of cornstarch with water instead of flour. If you prefer a spicier kick, add some cayenne pepper or hot sauce to the mix. For a vegetarian version, replace the chicken with firm tofu or portobello mushrooms. It’s a versatile sauce that can also be used in other American recipes.
