- Add extra vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini to boost nutritional value and create more texture variation in the bowl.
- Use coconut aminos instead of soy sauce for a gluten-free and soy-free alternative that still delivers a rich umami taste.
- Toast sesame seeds before sprinkling to enhance their nutty flavor and add a delightful aromatic crunch to the final dish.
