Cantonese Carrots And Green Peppers
- 2 1/2 Tbsp. sugar
- 2 1/2 Tbsp. cider vinegar
- 1 1/4 c. broth or low sodium bouillon
- 1 Tbsp. cornstarch

- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 to 4 dried chili peppers
- 2 c. carrots, cut in 1/4-inch slices
- 2 c. green peppers, cut into 1-inch squares
- In a small cup, mix sugar, vinegar and 3/4 cup broth.
- In another small cup, mix the cornstarch with remaining 1/2 cup broth. Set both cups aside.
- Heat oil in wok or large skillet over medium heat.
- Add garlic and hot pepper.
- Stir until garlic is tender. Add carrots and green peppers, stir-fry 2 minutes.
- Reduce heat and add sugar-vinegar, cover and steam for 5 minutes.
- Remove cover, stir in broth-cornstarch mixture.
- Stir until sauce thickens.
- One or 2 chili peppers leaves this dish still quite mild; four makes it hot and spicy.
