18 ounces paneer (Indian-style cottage cheese), cubed
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons minced garlic
3 jalapeno peppers, stemmed, seeded, and cut into 3/4-inch-thick slices
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon white vinegar
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1/2 red bell pepper, stemmed, ribs removed, and coarsely chopped
1/2 yellow bell pepper, stemmed, ribs removed, and coarsely chopped
1/2 green bell pepper, stemmed, ribs removed, and coarsely chopped
1 bunch scallions, thinly sliced, green parts only
2 tablespoons corn flour

Steps:

Place paneer in a medium bowl and add enough water to cover; let stand 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat oil in wok over medium-high heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add jalapeno, soy sauce, vinegar, 1 teaspoon pepper, and sugar. Season with salt and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes.
Drain paneer and add to wok; stir for 1 minute to coat. Add bell peppers; cook, stirring, until peppers are softened and paneer begins to lightly brown. Add scallions and cook, stirring for 1 minute. Sprinkle corn flour over top of chili and stir to combine. Let simmer for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and serve.
