Sriracha is everywhere: potato chips, fast food chains, probably an answer on Jeopardy at this point. But there is a reason behind the hipness and hype; Sriracha is a tasty and versatile hot sauce. Here, we combine the heat with garlic sesame sauce and use the resulting spoon-licking perfection to cook snap peas and sweet potato. Served with avocado, this meal is hip and happening, with just the right amount of spice. Tip: Having trouble cutting that wobbly sweet potato? Trim off 1/4" along its length and cut that section into 1/2" dice. Turn sweet potato onto its flat side. You now have a flat base to work from while you dice the remaining sweet potato.

Meatlovers! If using protein, pat dry and cook in a medium non-stick pan over medium heat with 1 tsp. olive oil. If using chicken breasts, on a clean cutting board, cut into 1” dice. Stir occasionally until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes. If using shrimp, cook until shrimp reach minimum internal temperature, 2-3 minutes per side. If using steak strips, separate into a single layer and coarsely chop. Stir occasionally until no pink remains and steak reaches minimum internal temperature, 4-6 minutes. Rest, 3 minutes. Add to bowl as desired.
