Salt ½ tsp
Red chili powder ½ tsp
Sugar 1 tsp
White pepper ½ tsp

Soy sauce 1 tbsp
Sesame oil 2 tbsp (optional)
Cornflour 1 tbsp (dissolved in ½ cup of water)

Capsicum 1 (remove seeds and cut into squares)

*Sesame oil really enhance the flavor of your dish, it also gives it a glossy finish and special aroma. I always use it in Thai/Chinese cuisines and soups.
