For a richer flavor, try marinating the chicken in a tablespoon of soy sauce and a teaspoon of grated ginger for at least 30 minutes before cooking. Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to your preference for spice. For a healthier option, substitute brown rice for white rice. Note that brown rice will require a longer cooking time. If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of water to thin it out.
