Prep the Vegetables: Dice the bell pepper and onion, and set them aside. Slice the green chilies and bird’s eye chilies. Mince the garlic.

Thicken the Sauce: Pour in the cornstarch mixture (cornstarch dissolved in a small amount of water) to thicken the sauce. Stir well and cook until the sauce has reduced and thickened, stirring occasionally.

Adjust the Flavor: Taste and adjust the seasoning as necessary, adding salt or additional seasoning to suit your preference.
