Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Samphire
- 1 Red bell pepper
- 1 Carrot
- 2 stalks Spring onions
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 1 thumb-sized piece Fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Chili flakes
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
Instructions
Rinse the samphire thoroughly under cold water to remove any excess salt.
Slice the red bell pepper and carrot into thin strips. Finely chop the spring onions. Mince the garlic and grate the ginger.
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, sesame oil, and chili flakes. Set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large wok or frying pan over medium-high heat.
Add the garlic and ginger to the pan and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the red bell pepper, carrot, and spring onions to the pan. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables start to soften but still retain some crunch.
Toss in the rinsed samphire and cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently.
Pour the soy sauce mixture over the vegetables and stir well to coat evenly. Cook for an additional minute to heat through.
Sprinkle the sesame seeds over the stir-fry and give it a final toss.
Serve immediately as a light main dish or as a flavorful side to accompany grilled fish or meat.
