  3. Add remaining teaspoon of oil to wok or frying pan and heat again. Add the ginger, shallots and capsicum and cook over moderately high heat for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add the peas, Chinese cabbage and carrot and stir-fry for a further 2 minutes or until the vegetables are just softened.
