Notes
- You can use ground chicken or pork depending on your preference or availability.
- For a spicier dish, increase the red pepper flakes or add a dash of hot sauce.
- Wonton strips add crunch, but for a gluten-free option, omit or use gluten-free alternatives.
- Brown the meat ahead of time to reduce excess fat and add deeper flavor.
- This recipe is gluten-friendly but can be adapted to gluten-free by using tamari instead of soy sauce and gluten-free hoisin sauce.
