For a sauce to add on top, I mix a half cup of sweet and sour sauce with a tablespoon of low sodium soy sauce. I am currently looking for other options though, so if you know any, let me know!

To make a spicier version add cayenne pepper in place of the regular pepper and also add 1-2 tablespoons of cilantro instead of 1/2 a tablespoon.

Sometimes I will add colored peppers with the onion to make the meal more aesthetically pleasing.. I will soon try to make a version with mushrooms and carrots as well :)
