Ingredients

  • 2 T. olive oil

Instructions

  • In a wok or a large skillet, sauté the peppers and ¾ of the scallions until the peppers have softened, about 4 or 5 minutes. Add the peas and cook another minute or so.

Notes

If you don't have fish sauce and oyster sauce, you can substitute soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce, respectively.  I.e., Sub soy for the fish sauce and Worcestershire for the oyster sauce.
