Stir Fried Bell Pepper & Chicken With Bean Paste

Four of seven important colours in one serving! Bell pepper is one of my favourites. Do you know red peppers have more vitamins and nutrients and contain the antioxidant lycopene. The level of carotene, another antioxidant, is nine times higher in red peppers. Red peppers also have twice the vitamin C content of green peppers. And orange bell peppers contain even more vitamin C and significantly more vitamin A. Because orange bell peppers are so juicy and sweet, and because they contain even less energy than half the energy of an orange, orange bell peppers are pre-eminently appropriate as refreshing slim-keeper, both as such or prepared in any dish. They can be eaten raw without having discomfort of digestion later. So, do you love them even more?

Ingredients :

3 boneless chicken thigh meat, sliced

half red bell pepper, cut n small

This is a very flavourful dish, so it's nice to go with something plain. You may also try this recipe by adding in some prawns which my boy loves so much! If you can't find any soy bean paste, maybe you can try with Korean bean paste.
