Stir-fried sliced red bell pepper is a simple yet delicious dish that can add vibrant color and flavor to any meal. This quick and easy recipe requires minimal ingredients and is perfect for a light side dish or a healthy snack.
Instructions:
- Wash the red bell pepper thoroughly under cold running water.
- Cut off the top (stem end) and the bottom of the pepper.
- Remove the seeds and the white inner membranes.
- Slice the pepper into thin, even strips.
- Heat a non-stick or stainless steel skillet over medium-high heat. Allow the skillet to preheat for a minute or two.
- Once the skillet is hot, you can optionally add a small amount of oil (like olive oil or vegetable oil) to enhance the flavor and prevent sticking.
- Add the sliced red bell pepper to the hot skillet.
- Stir-fry the bell pepper slices, stirring frequently to ensure even cooking.
- Continue to stir-fry for about 3-5 minutes. The peppers should become tender-crisp and slightly browned in spots, but not too soft.
- Adjust the cooking time to your preference. If you like crunchier peppers, cook them for a shorter time; for softer peppers, cook them a bit longer.
- Once cooked to your desired level of doneness, remove the skillet from heat.
- Add salt and pepper to taste, or any other desired seasonings.
- Serve the stir-fried red bell pepper slices hot as a side dish, or incorporate them into other recipes like stir-fries, salads, or sandwiches.
Tips:
- Choose a firm and bright red bell pepper for the best flavor and texture.
- Keep the heat at a medium level to prevent the pepper from burning while ensuring it cooks evenly.
- For added flavor, you can season with a pinch of salt, black pepper, or a splash of soy sauce.
- Add a bit of garlic or onion for an extra layer of taste.
- If you prefer a bit of heat, include a small amount of chili flakes or fresh chili.
Stir-fried sliced red bell pepper is a versatile and nutritious dish that can be prepared in just minutes. With the right techniques and seasonings, you can enhance its natural sweetness and enjoy it as a colorful addition to your meals. Happy cooking!
