Ingredients

  • 2 tsp Oil
  • 1 no. Onion, large, thinly sliced
  • 1 inch piece Ginger, chopped
  • 4 cloves Garlic, chopped
  • 1 each Capsicum- Yellow, Red and green
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 tsp Pepper powder Adjust to taste
  • 1 tbsp Dark Soy Sauce
  • 1 tsp Toasted sesame seeds For garnishing

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a pan and add thinly sliced onion, chopped garlic and ginger, sauté for a minute.

  2. Add the sliced capsicum and stir. Sprinkle a little water in between if needed. The capsicum should not turn mushy.

  3. When the capsicum is cooked yet has a crunch to it, add salt, pepper powder and soya sauce.

  4. Cook for a minute and remove from heat. Serve garnished with toasted sesame seeds.

Recipe Notes

  • You can use only the regular bell pepper/capsicum or colored capsicum. 
  • Soy sauce is salty, so add salt accordingly.
  • While cooking the capsicum, don't add water in one go. Sprinkle water at intervals so that it does not turn mushy. The Capsicum should still have a crunch to it.
