Variations & Tips

• For a lighter option, substitute ground beef with ground turkey or chicken.
• Add extra veggies like bell peppers or snap peas for more crunch and color.
• For a milder flavor, simply omit the red pepper flakes.
• Try different noodles — rice noodles or udon work great for a fun twist.
