- Let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes, until it thickens slightly.
- Drizzle with sesame oil, sprinkle sesame seeds on top, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, you can add red pepper flakes to the sauce.
- This stir fry can be served with rice or noodles for a more filling meal.
