"Yum, just server with rice.
I like to substitute pablanos for the bell pepper, but that is just me.
To spice it up a little you can also use a jalapeņo or two depending on your heat level.
I also use fresh ginger when I can't find prepared red ginger (which is most of the time). Grate it so you don't have any of those nasty chewy chunks.
