You can also use any veggies you want here – shredded cabbage, shredded carrots, broccoli slaw mix, mushrooms, green onions, and cauliflower. The possibilities are endless!
- Stir fry sauce – you can use your favorite brand of stir fry sauce. I usually just use a low-sodium soy sauce. You can also use coconut aminos, tamari, hoisin sauce, sriracha, or red chili paste.
