It's pretty much standard stir fry. I don't add any Chinese stuff like oyster sauce or 5-spice. Mostly, you just use whatever you have in the fridge. The taste should be fresh, bright, and slightly sweet with a bell pepper and tomato taste. The sauce would be some ketchup, soy sauce, and maybe a little garlic. You could add some ginger but I didn't this time. I add the tomatoes at the end and try not to cook them.
