Stir-fried green peppers with eggs is a beloved, simple dish cherished for its vibrant colors and harmonious flavors. Here’s a classic recipe to recreate this timeless favorite.
Begin by preparing the ingredients: 3-4 green peppers, seeded and sliced into thin strips; 3 eggs, lightly beaten with a pinch of salt; and 2 minced garlic cloves. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Pour in the eggs, scramble until lightly set, then remove and set aside. In the same wok, add a bit more oil if needed, sauté the garlic until fragrant, then toss in the pepper strips. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they crisp-tender but retain a slight bite.
Return the scrambled eggs to the wok, drizzle with 1 teaspoon of soy sauce and a dash of sesame oil for depth. Toss everything together for 30 seconds, ensuring the flavors meld. Season with a pinch of sugar to balance the peppers’ bitterness if desired.
Serve hot steamed rice. The dish’s magic lies in its simplicity—crisp peppers, fluffy eggs, and savory sauce come together in minutes, making it a staple for busy weeknights or comforting family meals.
