A set of vegetables for such a dish can be changed and supplemented, for example, using garlic, tomatoes, string beans. At the end, you can add a fresh cucumber cut into strips.

Chicken can be replaced with pork, turkey.

Keep in mind that the final result in this dish also depends on how you chop the carrots: grated carrots will turn into mush during heat treatment and mix evenly with the rest of the ingredients, cut into strips or cubes will retain their shape.

When adding soy sauce to the dish, it is worth considering that it has a rather salty taste. Reduce the total amount of salt, otherwise you risk over-salting.

Any oils are useful only until a certain temperature is reached - the point of smoking, at which the oil begins to burn and toxic substances, including carcinogens, are formed in it.
