One of my favorite things about this recipe is how easy it is to customize. Swap in your favorite vegetables, adjust the spice level with more or less crushed red pepper, or top it with extra green onions and sesame seeds for even more flavor and crunch. The Palmini rice keeps the dish light while soaking up the savory sauce, making it a great option when you're looking for a lower-carb alternative to traditional rice.
