• For a more intense flavor, let the steak marinate longer.
• Feel free to add your favorite vegetables, such as bell peppers or broccoli, for added nutrition.
• If you prefer a milder sauce, adjust the amount of sriracha to your taste.
• Experiment with different types of rice; jasmine rice adds a lovely fragrance!
