- Use extra-firm tofu while making any rice dishes.
- You can add Thai bird's eye chili or sriracha chili sauce for extra spiciness to the dish.
- Use any veggies of your choice. Some other veggies that go well include tomatoes, broccoli, carrot, cauliflower, green peas, sweet corn, spinach, celery, etc.
- I have not added fish sauce, oyster sauce in the recipe. The flavor from the soy sauce was sufficient and balanced. I have used dark soy sauce.
- I have used sweet and ripe mangoes for my recipe.
