For an extra layer of richness, swirl in a dollop of crème fraîche or coconut milk before serving. To elevate the presentation, garnish with toasted pumpkin seeds, a sprinkle of chopped chives, or a drizzle of high-quality olive oil. Feel free to adjust the amount of ginger to your liking, depending on your preferred level of spiciness.
