Method

Heat oil in a wok. Add garlic and ginger and saute  Add onion and toss it. Add red and green capsicum. Toss it till it is cooked a bit. Do not overcook. The veggies need to be crisp.

Garnish it with spring onion. Serve hot with any fried rice.

My Notes

ü  Chinese cooking is done on high flame so keep the flame high while cooking. Keep all the ingredients ready before starting to cook.
