For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes along with the sugar and salt. If you prefer a thicker sauce, whisk together 1 teaspoon of cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of cold water and stir it into the skillet during the last minute of cooking. Feel free to experiment with other vegetables such as snap peas, mushrooms, or broccoli florets. Serve over brown rice, quinoa, or noodles for a complete and satisfying meal.
