1
Prepare the peppers. Optionally remove the seeds: cut off the stem end and use a small spoon to scoop out the seeds. Alternatively, leave them whole or with seeds intact.
2
Heat a wok to medium heat. Add the peppers and roast for 7–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the skins are blistered and charred with tiger-stripe patterns.
3
When the peppers are nearly done, push them to the side of the wok, add oil, then add the garlic and stir until fragrant.
4
Add the light soy sauce and green onions, tossing everything together.
5
Finish with black vinegar. If using a wok or carbon steel pan, add the vinegar at the end to avoid acidity damaging the seasoning. Toss well and serve.
