Stir-Fried Green Peppers

The resting time allows the mixture to firm and the flavours to settle without additional cooking. A vibrant and colourful dish highlighting the natural sweetness of delicate Shushka peppers, lightly seared to achieve a soft and velvety texture. The precise balance of aromatic garlic and onion, combined with the depth of toasted sesame oil and soya sauce, creates a light Asian-inspired accompaniment full of character and balanced flavours.
