For a richer flavor, marinate the chicken in 1 tablespoon of the sauce mixture for at least 30 minutes before cooking. Adjust the amount of Sriracha and red pepper flakes to control the spice level according to your preference. If you don't have fresh ginger, 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger can be substituted, but the fresh ginger provides a brighter flavor. To add more vegetables to the dish, consider stir-frying some broccoli florets, sliced bell peppers, or snow peas along with the chicken.
