How to Make Stuffed Green Peppers with Pork

Stuffed green peppers with pork, a beloved Chinese dish, combines tender meat with flavorful peppers for a satisfying meal. Here’s a simple guide to preparing it.

First, gather ingredients: 6-8 green peppers, 200g ground pork, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp oyster sauce, 1/2 tsp sesame oil, salt, pepper, and a pinch of sugar.

Begin by preparing the peppers: Cut off the tops, remove seeds, and blanch in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened. Drain and set aside.

For the filling, mix ground pork with garlic, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, salt, pepper, and sugar. Stir until well combined. Stuff the mixture into each pepper, packing it lightly.

Heat 1 tbsp oil in a wok or pan. Place the stuffed peppers upright, cover, and cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes. Pour in 100ml water or broth, reduce heat to low, and simmer for another 10 minutes until the pork is cooked through.

Garnish with chopped green onions and serve hot with rice. The peppers turn tender, while the filling remains juicy, offering a perfect blend of textures and savory flavors. Enjoy this hearty homemade dish!
