Tips & Substitutions
For a quicker cooking time, ensure your flank steak strips are not too frozen when you start. If you prefer a more robust flavor, consider adding a splash of soy sauce or a hint of ginger. To customize, you can substitute the bell pepper with other vegetables like zucchini or mushrooms, or use teriyaki sauce for a sweeter taste.
Serving Suggestions
This dish pairs beautifully with Colorful Fried Rice for a complete meal. You can also serve it alongside a refreshing Green Bean Salad(Chinese Style) or steamed jasmine rice. For a bit of crunch, consider adding a side of crispy spring rolls or egg rolls.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm gently in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of water or broth to maintain moisture. Alternatively, you can microwave in short intervals, stirring occasionally until heated through.
