It is the techniques that's important. I just think the recipe should be titled properly. If tomato is added to the "stir-fried pepper steak" then it should be named "stir-fried pepper steak with tomato." Same with the "Moo Goo Gai Pan." Since "Moo Goo" means shiitake mushrooms then without it the "Moo Goo" is a misnomer. It's like naming a chowder with corn as "Clam Chowder." It doesn't make sense. Amanda, Thanks for visiting my blog as well!

SIGHi'm glad I found you, I love stir fry and am looking forward to following your blog. I've already subscribed.Just curious, since this is a pepper steak recipe. Have you ever heard of adding tomatoes to pepper steak? A Chinese take out I went to years and years ago use to include them and I thought it was so wonderful. I've never seen it that way other than that restaurant. it actually was called "Don the Cantonese Chef". Anyway, I always add them to mine, delicious! :)Oh, can't subscribe to comments :-/ i'll try to check back then! Thanks for stopping by my blog :)

I like this recipe. Many places make it with 豆瓣酱, hot fermented bean paste. Hatch chilies are supposed to be similar to the green peppers that we get here in Sichuan. I like this recipe.
