Change Up

• Try other greens. Some fiber-rich veggies that work include conventional spinach, Shanghai (baby) bok choy, or green cabbage. You could even toss in slivers of green or red bell pepper.
• Mix in other aromatics. Try adding onion wedges or sliced scallions/green onions.
• Drizzle with toasted sesame oil. It adds a wonderful aroma and nutty flavor to the dish.
