For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of ground coriander or cumin to the chicken marinade. If you prefer a smoother peanut sauce, use creamy peanut butter instead of crunchy. The peanut sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving. For a vegetarian option, substitute the chicken with firm tofu, pressed and cut into strips. Garnish with chopped cilantro, crushed peanuts, and a squeeze of lime for an extra touch of freshness.
