STIR-FRIED TOFU AND PEPPERS
This attractive stir-fry is inspired by a traditional Chinese dish called rainbow beef. The vegetarian version works well, and it's also easier to make. If you prefer a very firm tofu, take the extra time to weight it as directed in step 1. I am happy to skip this step and use firm tofu that hasn't been weighted.

Steps:
- Optional step for firmer tofu: Blot the tofu dry, wrap in a clean kitchen towel and place a cutting board on top. Let sit for about 15 minutes. Whether weighted or not, slice the tofu about 1/2 inch thick into 1- x 2-inch dominoes.
- Mix together 1 tablespoon of the soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of the brown sugar and 1 tablespoon of the oil in a medium bowl. Toss with the tofu, and stir to make sure all of the pieces are coated. Let sit for five to 10 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.
- In a small bowl, stir together the remaining soy sauce and sugar, hoisin sauce and sesame oil. Set aside.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet or wok over high heat until a drop of water evaporates on contact. Add the oil, turn the heat to medium-high and add the peppers. Stir-fry for a couple of minutes, until the peppers begin to soften, and add the garlic and ginger. Stir-fry for 20 seconds, until the garlic and ginger begin to smell fragrant, and add the tofu, dried red pepper flakes and green onions. Stir-fry two minutes, give the sauce a stir and add to the pan. Cover and cook for three minutes. Remove the lid, stir the ingredients in the pan, and taste and adjust seasonings. Serve with rice or noodles.

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.

STIR-FRIED CHICKEN WITH MANGO AND PEPPERS
This is from HeartSmart Chinese Cooking, by Steven Wong. Every single recipe in this book is delicious, and since I can't post them all, you should just buy it. The recipes are great because they taste authentically Asian, but are a lot lower in fat and salt than a lot of traditional recipes. Prep time includes marinating time. Can be served over rice, but I find it's a filling meal in itself.

Steps:
- Spray a skillet lightly with oil.
- Place over medium/high heat.
- Add all the ingredients and stir fry for 5 minutes.
- Do not over cook - the ingredients should be heated through but still crisp.
Tips:
- Choose the right peppers: Look for bell peppers that are firm, brightly colored, and have smooth skin. Avoid peppers that are bruised or have blemishes.
- Cut the peppers evenly: Cut the peppers into uniform-sized pieces so that they cook evenly. If you are making stuffed peppers, make sure to remove the seeds and ribs before stuffing them.
- Use a hot pan: Make sure your pan is hot before adding the peppers. This will help to prevent them from sticking and will also help to create a nice sear.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: Avoid overcrowding the pan with peppers. This will make it difficult for them to cook evenly and will also make them more likely to stick.
- Season the peppers: Season the peppers with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings before cooking. This will help to enhance their flavor.
- Cook the peppers until they are tender: Cook the peppers until they are tender, but still slightly crisp. Overcooking will make them mushy.
- Serve the peppers immediately: Serve the peppers immediately after cooking, while they are still hot and crispy.
Conclusion:
Fried peppers are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, side dish, or main course. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a little creativity, you can create a variety of delicious fried pepper dishes that will please everyone at your table. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give fried peppers a try!
