Usually the beans are the protein (I know that's not much protein.)

Beans, oil, soy sauce (not much!), onions, peppers, and something
cabbagey if I have it, like peeled broccoli stems. Maybe some seaweed.
Either Sriracha or chilli-and-garlic paste, a little molasses, and
right at the end I'll add soaked cellophane noodles or cooked brown rice.

Every time I make it, it's different. It just depends on what I have in
the fridge to get rid of.

I don't like Sriracha as a table sauce, but it's good to cook with.
