Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Preparing the Sauce

    In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, brown sugar, cornstarch, and water until well combined. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Chopping the Peppers

    Wash the sweet bell peppers. Remove the stems and seeds, then slice them into thin strips. You should have about 3 cups of sliced peppers.

  3. 3

    Heating the Wok

    Heat the vegetable oil in a wok over medium-high heat until shimmering.

  4. 4

    Stir-Frying the Peppers

    Add the sliced sweet bell peppers to the hot wok. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.

  5. 5

    Adding Garlic

    Add the minced garlic to the wok and stir-fry for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  6. 6

    Adding the Sauce

    Pour the prepared sauce over the peppers and stir well to coat. Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken.

  7. 7

    Finishing Touches

    Drizzle the sesame oil over the dish and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir well to combine.

  8. 8
