BROCCOLI 'N RED PEPPERS STIR FRIED
The key to a good stir fry is to have the veggies piping hot but still crisp. Cook this to your liking in terms of crispness. If you like a thicker sauce add 2 tsp of cornstarch to the stock. Great with Chicken. If you wish this suitable for vegetarrian diets use veggie stock in place of the chicken stock I have made this again in 2009. I modified the recipe by omitting the sesame seeds, used no oil just a light spray of "no oil." Not caring for a lot of sauce cut out the stock and used 4 tbsp of vermouth with 3 tbsp light soy - It worked.

<h3>Tips</h3>
To extend the life of broccoli, cut off 1 inch of the stem ends and place in a large container of cold water, covered tightly. Refrigerate for up to 5 days. Drain and let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes before using.
To select ripe bell peppers, look for firm, fully colored peppers. Avoid peppers that have blemishes or cuts.
To save time, you can buy pre-cut broccoli and bell peppers. However, it is generally cheaper to buy the whole vegetables and cut them yourself.
If you don't have garlic powder or onion powder, you can use 1/2 teaspoon of minced garlic or 1/4 teaspoon of minced onion.
To make the dish more spicy, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper.
Serve the broccoli and red bell pepper saute immediately, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
