Notes
Lean beef steak can be substituted for chicken or leave out meat altogether for a veggie stir-fry. Minced garlic could be substituted for garlic powder. More or less red pepper flakes could be used depending on level of spice desired. Soy sauce can be served on side. Additional veggies such as zucchini, carrots or pea pods could be added.
