Gingered Pea Pods and Red Pepper

This is another delicious way to use fresh or frozen pea pods and red peppers.  I really like the ginger in a tube that you can purchase, usually in the salad section at the market.  I find I don’t waste any ginger that way.  I stir-fried this in my wok, as it just seemed simpler than a saucepan.   

It’s very pretty, very easy, and tastes great.
