  3. Reheat wok over medium heat. Add remaining oil and heat for 30 seconds. Add shallots, garlic and ginger and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add coleslaw mix and capsicum and stir-fry for 3–4 minutes or until vegetables are just tender.

Notes

To prepare fresh ginger, chop off the amount that you need and remove the skin. Grate or slice as required. Wrap the unused portion in foil and store in the fridge.To save time, we used a ready-made coleslaw mix of shredded white and red cabbage and grated carrot. It is available in the fresh vegetable section of most supermarkets.
