Loved the combination of fish and mixed peppers, colorful and tasty…
Yes, I tend to add soy sauce to most of my dishes. When something tastes blant, I just add a few splash of soy sauce and it instantly turns flavorful. Being a stir fry enthusiastic, I tend to make stir fries often. One of the veggies that I love to have in my stir fries is pepper. If I have different colored peppers in one dish, I am visually and mentally satisfied. It’s just amazing how different colored peppers have different personalities and impart distinct taste, just like fraternal twins.
Mixed peppers when combined with fish tasted delicious and this has turned into one of my favorite dishes.
