"BELL PEPPERS AND ONIONS STIR-FRY"

Sometimes we do not need complicated side dishes to complete our meal.

Bell peppers and onions, stir-fried in sesame oil or unsalted butter with a little bit of soy sauce (or oyster sauce) is one of my favorite side dishes! It's got the texture and flavors that I really enjoy.

Bell peppers (my favorite among the "sweet" pepper variety) are fat-free, and are packed with nutrients: iron, vit A, and tons of vit C! Yes, lots of vit C. Do you know that eating one sweet green pepper will be roughly eating two oranges?

What about onions? Do you know that the onion, which is one of the staple ingredients in Pinoy cooking is packed with vit C as well?

Try this "Bell Peppers and Onion Stir-Fry" side dish. You might need it specially if you are on the run, and still want something delicious and nutritional too.
