Ingredients

Salt (to taste)
Black pepper (to taste)
Cooking oil (2 tablespoons)
Water (2 tablespoons)
Cornstarch (1 tablespoon)
Honey (1 tablespoon)
Rice vinegar (1 tablespoon)
Sesame oil (1 teaspoon)
Soy sauce (3 tablespoons)
Garlic (2 cloves, minced)
Onion (1 medium, sliced)
Bell peppers (3 cups, sliced (mix of red, yellow, and green))

Instructions

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey, cornstarch, and water until smooth. Set the sauce aside.
Heat the cooking oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat until it shimmers.
Add the sliced bell peppers and onions to the skillet, stir-frying for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften but still retain some crunch.
Introduce the minced garlic to the skillet, stirring for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour the prepared sauce over the vegetables in the skillet, stirring well to ensure they are evenly coated.
Continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and cling to the vegetables.
Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting according to your preference.
Remove from heat and serve hot, either on its own or over a bed of rice or noodles.
