Notes
- You can substitute ground turkey or beef for the chicken or pork based on your preference.
- For a gluten-free version, use tamari or a gluten-free soy sauce alternative.
- If you prefer a spicier dish, increase the red pepper flakes or add fresh chili.
- To keep it low fat, use ground chicken breast or turkey and reduce the amount of sesame oil.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheat well in a skillet or microwave.
