Cut leftover bread into smaller pieces.

Prepare vegetables: slice red capsicum, chop onion coarsely, and finely chop tomato.

Heat a pan and add olive oil.

Add onion, ginger, garlic, and carrot to the pan and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.

Add red capsicum and stir-fry for another 3 minutes, ensuring it doesn't become too soft.

Sprinkle some water on the bread if it's hard to soften it.

Add finely chopped tomato and cook until it becomes slightly pulpy.

Add about half a teaspoon of salt, adjusting to taste due to the soy sauce and vinegar.

Add the leftover bread pieces to the pan along with soy sauce and vinegar, mixing everything evenly.

Cook for another 3-4 minutes, allowing the moisture to dry out slightly without making it completely soggy.

Garnish with fresh coriander before serving.
