A simple stir fry

This is a very generalized and versatile way to make a quick hot meal. It's fun to experiment with ingredients and try different veges and meats.


Materials:

- One onion (chopped round)
- One bell pepper (cut in thickish slices)
- Dry red chili peppers
- Garlic (powder or fresh crushed)
- Salt

Preparation:


Heat oil in a heavy saucepan. Add chopped onions and stir until lightly browned. Add chopped bell peppers and stir fry on medium heat for 2-4 minutes. Add garlic to taste and chili peppers (depending on how hot you want it). Stir fry for another 2 minutes. Sprinkle some water and cover to cook for about 10 minutes on low-medium heat. Uncover and stir on high heat till the oil separates.

Serve with spaghetti or soba (Japanese buckwheat noodles). Also goes well as a side with eggs and toast.

Options: You can prepare a more robust meal by adding a precooked sausage (bratwurst or organic chicken sausage) at the final stir-fry stage. This also works well with medium or hard tofu cut in chunks and added at final stir-fry stage.
