Long before we were back in Kapit, I were trying to clear and finish up what ever stuff we had in the fridge. The red pepper has been there for more than a week and it would not be any good to leave it longer.
So I created a new dish for the family. Something that everyone loves and easy to prepare as well.
I love the colour of this dish too. Furthermore, red pepper has some health benefits and it is not too spicy to be eaten.
My stir-fried chicken breast with ginger, red pepper and spring onion

Breast meat, sliced
Ginger, size of your thumb, sliced
1 red pepper, de-seeded and sliced

ReplyDeleteClearing the fridge is good practice. I do it regularly. Delicious dish, Rose. ^.^
ReplyDeleteLooks like a healthy dish... not oily at all.
ReplyDeleteI've two pieces of chicken breast in the freezer - bought wrongly, pre-packed in plastic, frozen. Thought they were drumsticks. :( Maybe I can use them to try out your recipe.
ReplyDeleteIt looks tasty and healthy, Rose. Thanks so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteRed pepper as in red capsicum? They are not spicy at all despite being called peppers. I cooked this dish when I was in UK and I use yellow and green capsicums together with red ones.
ReplyDeleteA tasty and healthy dish for the whole family. I like capsicums.
ReplyDeleteBefore i eat capsicums, i thought it will be spicy, till i try it out...
