# Notes:
01 -
To add a touch of heat, sprinkle in red pepper flakes with the seasonings. Bell peppers, zucchini, or onions can be added for variation. Shiitake or oyster mushrooms are excellent substitutes for cremini. For a flavor boost, experiment with oyster or teriyaki sauce. Consider garnishing with chopped spring onions or sesame seeds before serving.
