Cooking

- Add bell peppers and garlic. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp.

Notes
To store leftovers, let the stir-fry cool down, then place it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will stay fresh for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or microwave until heated through. Pre-cut all ingredients for smoother cooking. Adjust sriracha for spice preference. Adding nuts like cashews can enhance crunch.
