Notes

You can substitute chicken with shrimp, beef, or tofu for different protein options. For a gluten-free version, ensure that the oyster sauce is labeled gluten-free or use tamari instead. For meal prep, divide into containers with rice or noodles for grab-and-go lunches. Let the dish rest for a few minutes after cooking to allow flavors to meld. Adjust spice levels according to preference. Enjoy!
