Notes
- Adjust the Heat: Add more or less Sriracha to match your heat preference. You can also drizzle extra Sriracha on top for an added kick.
- Add Protein or Vegetables: To make this dish heartier, add cooked shrimp, chicken, or tofu. Vegetables like bell peppers, broccoli, or snap peas also work well.
- Noodle Options: While spaghetti and rice noodles work perfectly, you can use other noodles like soba or ramen if desired.
