🧂 Ingredients

2 TBsp Vegetable Oil
2 TBsp Fermented Black Soy Bean

豆豉
4 cloves of Garlic

Minced
4 Bell Peppers

Green works best, shishito peppers are great too. Julienned.
2 TBsp Soy Sauce

You can also use LeeKumKee Oyster Sauce
1/2 tsp Salt

or to taste

Instructions

1 Heat up 2TBsp vegetable oil in a wok or a pan on high heat, about 1 minute.
2 Add 2TBsp fermented black soybeans (豆豉) to the wok, it will bubble and sizzle
and start to smell good. The beans will turn a lighter color and start to
blister. About 30 seconds – 1 minute.
3 Add the minced garlic and stir fry for 2 seconds then toss in the julienned
peppers.
4 Once the pepper are in, pour the soy sauce around the wok to add a smoky flavor.
You can also use LeeKumKee oyster sauce. (Thai oyster sauce tastes very
different, thus I label the brand here)
5 Stir-fry on high heat until flavors are absorbed and peppers are softened. About
5 – 7 minutes. Salt to taste.
