: Oh! Stir fry. Thanks! But nobody here will eat that. We prefer raw.

But Janet's recipe says it is a stir fry. Not articularly Chinese, just
some ginger and it is a cooked peppers in pieces recipe which,I believe,
you asked for. It is a simple garlic, onions adn meat stir fry, not that
different from your steak you did the other night.
