Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 whole Bell peppers (red, yellow, or green)
- 3 whole Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Red chilli flakes
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
Wash and core the bell peppers. Slice them into thin strips approximately 1/3-inch wide.
Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the chopped garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add the sliced bell peppers to the skillet and stir-fry for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they soften slightly but still retain some crunch.
Sprinkle the red chilli flakes over the peppers and stir well to combine.
Add the soy sauce, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together so the peppers are evenly coated with the seasoning.
Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, letting the flavors blend while ensuring the peppers don't overcook.
If desired, sprinkle the sesame seeds over the dish for a nutty garnish.
Serve hot as a side dish or as a topping for rice, noodles, or salads.
