For non spicy version, you can reduce the chili paste used. Have added cauliflower and peas but carrot, french bean, capsicum or mushroom are best alternative. You could add more vegetables or may be throw in some chicken or prawn if you want. Even without those it is so tasty, fulfilling and a great meal on the go..
