Stir fry chicken with fermented black beans and bell peppers
September 6, 2008 – 2:30 pm by wiffyHere’s part two of my growing bell peppers post, featuring a recipe cooked with the harvested bell pepper ^_^
This is a deliciously homely and pleasing Chinese stir fry dish which I learned from a cookbook. There were so much flavour in this dish, that we needed extra rice to go with it
