Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 red bell pepper
1 green bell pepper
1 jar of hoisen sauce
3 Tbsp soy sauce
2 Tbsp olive oil, extra virgin
1 tsp sesame seed oil
3 garlic cloves minced
1 tsp fresh ginger minced

Steps:

  • 1. Clean and slice your peppers thinly or your desired thickness. Mince the garlic and the ginger. Sometimes I use the jarred ones but usually I use fresh ginger. If you are going to put meat in it you can cut it into thin strips that way it cooks at the same time as the veggies.
  • 2. Heat your walk or skillet add your oils and vegetables cook for 1 minute. Add ginger and garlic cook for another 1-3 minutes depends on how cooked you want your veggies. I like mine crunchy but soft. Add hoisen sauce and soy sauce. If you are adding meat add at the same time as the veggies so it cooks completely through.
  • 3. Serve over rice noodles or cooked white rice. If you want to make this spicy yo can add some red pepper flakes or Thai chilis if you find any. You can also add any veggie you want sometimes I do mushrooms or carrots. I like to top it off with some sesame seeds for crunch.

Tips:

  • Select the Right Peppers: Choose bell peppers with vibrant colors and firm flesh. Avoid peppers with blemishes or bruises.
  • Prep Your Peppers Properly: Remove the stems and seeds from the peppers. Cut them into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.
  • Use High Heat: Stir-frying requires high heat to quickly cook the vegetables and retain their crisp texture. Make sure your wok or skillet is heated properly before adding the ingredients.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Pan: Avoid overcrowding the pan with too many ingredients. This will prevent the peppers from cooking evenly and becoming soggy.
  • Add Sauce or Seasoning Gradually: Start with a small amount of sauce or seasoning and adjust it to taste. Over-seasoning can ruin the dish.
  • Serve Immediately: Stir-fried dishes are best served immediately after cooking. This will ensure that the vegetables retain their vibrant colors and flavors.
