Pan-Fried Sweet Bell Peppers Stuffed
Savory Meat

Juicy pork-stuffed bell pepper halves pan-fried to a savory crust and simmered in a glossy, savory-sweet soy glaze. A comforting homestyle dish.

Ingredients

• 300 g ground pork
• 2 sweet red bell peppers
• 2 sweet yellow bell peppers
• 6 spoons water
• 1 spoon light soy sauce
• 1 spoon oyster sauce
• a little dark soy sauce
• a little sugar
• 1 small spoon cornstarch
• as needed cooking oil
• to taste chopped green onions

Instructions

1. 1Pan-fry the Stuffed Peppers

   

   Place the raw stuffed red and yellow bell pepper halves meat-side down into a black frying pan with a thin layer of cooking oil over medium heat.

   Tip: Ensure the oil is evenly distributed across the pan before placing the peppers to prevent sticking.
2. 2Flip the Stuffed Peppers

   

   Carefully flip the stuffed bell peppers using a green silicone spatula, revealing the meat stuffing which now has a visibly browned, cooked surface.

   Tip: Flip gently to ensure the meat filling remains securely inside the pepper halves.
3. 3Add the Seasoning Sauce

   

   Pour the pre-mixed seasoning sauce (water, light soy sauce, oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, sugar, and cornstarch) evenly from a small bowl over the pan-fried stuffed peppers.

   Tip: Mix water, light soy sauce, oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, sugar, and cornstarch thoroughly to avoid lumps before pouring.
4. 4Cover and Simmer

   

   Cover the frying pan with a lid and let the stuffed peppers simmer in the sauce on medium-low heat for about three minutes to thicken the liquid and cook the peppers through.

   Tip: Covering the pan allows the steam to cook the peppers through while thickening the sauce.
