　　1/2 teaspoon garlic salt

　　1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

　　2 medium green bell peppers, cut into strips

　　Heat the oil in a large, heavy pot. Add the meat and brown for 5 minutes. Stir in the water, onion, garlic salt, and ginger. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce the heat, and simmer for 15 minutes.
