Notes

  • Regular sesame oil works just fine here too—no need for anything fancy.
  • If you’re heat-sensitive, start with 1 teaspoon of sriracha—1 tablespoon gives it a medium kick, which I love, but you can totally dial it down. I wouldn’t skip it though—it adds so much flavor, not just spice.
  • You can easily swap in any ground meat you have—chicken, turkey, or even beef. I used just half a pound and thought it was the perfect balance with the veggies, but you can use more if you want it extra protein-packed.
  • Love your stir fry extra saucy? Feel free to double the sauce. I personally think this recipe has just the right amount for coating everything, but more sauce is never a bad idea if you like it extra flavorful!
