Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Wash and prep all vegetables. Slice bell peppers into thin strips, onion into crescents, slice mushrooms, and mince the green chili.

  2. 2

    If using protein, cut into bite-sized pieces and pat dry; keep ready for cooking.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Cook protein

    Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Add protein of choice and cook until nicely browned and cooked through. Remove from skillet and rest.

  2. 4

    Sauté vegetables

    In the same skillet, add a drizzle of oil if needed. Add bell peppers, onion, mushrooms, and green chili. Sauté 4-5 minutes until crisp-tender.

  3. 5

    Aromatics

    Push vegetables to the side. Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the center of the skillet; cook 30 seconds until fragrant.

  4. 6

    Sauce & season

    Return protein to the skillet. Drizzle with soy sauce, then add salt and pepper; toss to coat.

  5. 7

    Thicken

    Whisk 1 teaspoon cornstarch with 2 tablespoons water to make a slurry. Stir slurry into the skillet and simmer until the sauce thickens and coats the ingredients.

  6. 8

    Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve Pepper Delight hot, with rice or tortillas as desired.
