Asian Adventure
This Asian-inspired dish is a quick and easy weeknight meal that's packed with flavor. The combination of sweet bell peppers, savory black beans, and crunchy corn is sure to please everyone at the table. Best of all, it can be on the table in under 30 minutes.
This recipe was inspired by a trip I took to Thailand a few years ago. I was immediately struck by the vibrant flavors of the food, and I knew I wanted to recreate some of those dishes at home. This recipe is my take on a classic Thai stir-fry, and it's one of my favorite ways to use up leftover vegetables. It's also a great way to get your kids to eat their veggies!
