Do onions or peppers take longer to cook?

Cook for 1-2 minutes. Note we like to start cooking the pepper first (before the onion) because it takes longer for pepper to cook down to the same softness. Add the onion to the same pan and continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes until it's just starting to soften. Add salt and pepper to taste.

How do you cut a bell pepper for stuffing?

Cut the pepper in half vertically right through the middle of the stem and the bottom of the pepper.

How do you cut bell peppers and onions for fajitas?

Chop off the stem if needed, so the top of the pepper is flush on the cutting board. Then, work your way down each side of the pepper. Cut the outside skin of the pepper away from the seeds. In three to four chops, you'll have large pieces of pepper to dice or slice into strips.

Should you cook meat or vegetables first?

Meat first, then vegetables – If you want meat or seafood in your stir fry, cook it first then scoop it out onto a separate plate before cooking the vegetables. You'll add the meat back in at the end. 5. Don't crowd the pan – If you have too much in your pan, the vegetables will steam instead of staying crisp.
