1/2 cup chopped cremini mushrooms
1 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar

1 tbsp crunchy garlic (optional, for garnish)

Add extra vegetables like spinach, bok choy, or shredded carrots for variety.
To boost protein, add tofu cubes or chickpeas.
Reduce curry paste or skip chili oil for a milder flavor.
Swap dumplings with rice noodles or ramen for variation.
