Air-Fried Stuffed Bell Peppers
Asian Glaze

Vibrant bell peppers stuffed with a savory shiitake and pork filling, air-fried until tender, and tossed in a rich, glossy soy-oyster sauce.

Ingredients

• 4 whole colorful bell peppers
• 300 g minced meat
• 4-5 dried shiitake mushrooms, soaked
• 2 stalks scallions, chopped
• 1 egg
• 2 tbsp starch
• 1 tbsp garlic oil
• 1 tbsp cooking wine
• 3 tbsp light soy sauce
• 2 tbsp oyster sauce
• 1 tsp pepper powder
• to taste salt and white sugar
• 1/2 cup water

Instructions

1. 1Add an egg to the meat mixture

   

   Crack a fresh egg directly into the glass bowl containing the seasoned minced meat, chopped scallions, and shiitake mushrooms. Use chopsticks or a spoon to mix and stir everything together thoroughly until the egg is fully incorporated and the stuffing meat is cohesive and ready.

   Tip: Adding an egg helps bind the meat mixture together so it stays firm inside the peppers during cooking.
2. 2Core and seed the bell peppers

   

   Take colorful bell peppers and carefully cut off their stems. Remove all the inner seeds and core completely to create hollow cavities suitable for stuffing the meat mixture.

   Tip: Ensure all seeds are thoroughly cleaned out so the hollow space can be packed evenly with meat.
3. 3Stuff the bell peppers

   

   Use chopsticks or a small spoon to scoop the prepared meat stuffing and press it firmly into the hollow colorful bell pepper pieces. Fill them securely before cutting the stuffed peppers in half for cooking.

   Tip: Pack the meat tightly into the peppers so it does not fall out when cooking or frying.
4. 4Place stuffed bell peppers in the air fryer

   

   Transfer the stuffed bell peppers into the air fryer basket, arranging them neatly without overcrowding.

   Tip: Make sure the bell peppers are stable so the meat filling doesnt spill out while transferring.
