Recipes - Stuffed Green Sweet Peppers Recipe
Ingredients
3 stumpy green peppers
6 oz. leg of pork (with
some fat on it)
1 dessertspoon canned water
chestnuts
1 dessertspoon canned
bamboo shoots
salt, sugar and Ve-Tsin
(M.S.G.)
1 teaspoon beaten egg
1-2 tablespoons peanut oil
1/4 pint (U.S. 5/8 cup) hot
chicken stock
1/4 teaspoon soy sauce
3/4 teaspoon corn-flour
1 dessertspoon cold water
Method:
Cut a thin slice
off the stem end of each pepper and remove the
seeds, leaving the 'divisions' intact. Very finely
chop the pork, chestnuts and bamboo shoots. Mix them
together.
Add a pinch of
salt, sugar and Ve-Tsin and the beaten egg and work
them well in. Knead and throw the mixture as with
dough when making bread.
Divide into three
and fill each section of the pepper with a portion,
gently pressing it in. Get the oil very hot. Place
the stuffed peppers in it, meat sides down, and fry
for 5-6 minutes.
Add the stock,
another pinch of salt, sugar and Ve-Tsin and soy
sauce and cook for a further 3 minutes.
