Directions

Step 1

Prepare all ingredients by slicing the bell peppers, julienning the carrot, and slicing the scallions. Mince the garlic and ginger.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, and cornstarch. Add water to the mixture and stir until smooth. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil and allow it to heat up.

Step 7

Add the sliced bell peppers and julienned carrot to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, keeping the vegetables slightly crisp.

Pour the sauce mixture into the skillet and stir everything together. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the sauce thickens and coats all the ingredients evenly.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from heat. Sprinkle sliced scallions on top and garnish with sesame seeds if desired.
