Notes

Spicy Minced Pepper and Meat Stir-fry is spicy, flavorful, and satisfying. It is a typical Southwestern-style home-style dish. The tenderness of the meat pairs with the refreshing spiciness of the peppers, whetting the appetite. Pork is rich in protein and fat, while peppers provide abundant Vitamin C to aid digestion. Although mastering the heat for sautéing and stir-frying is key, the steps are clear and beginners can easily handle them; the estimated cooking time is about 25 minutes. Note that this dish emphasizes spiciness, so it is not recommended for those on a very bland diet.
