2. Add the garlic, ginger, chilies and bell peppers and saute stirring with a wood spoon to keep the crumbles from sticking and cook it until the garlic and ginger are fragrant. You don't want the vegetables to get mushy. Turn it down to medium heat

3. Stir soy sauce, cornstarch, water, and rice vinegar together and deglaze the pan with liquid and stirring quickly with a wooden spoon to coat the mixture. The liquid turns into a flavorful sauce that clings to the crumbles and and vegetables and makes the mixture not so runny.
