Steps

30 minutes

1

Chop the ground meat until sticky, place in a bowl, add chopped green onions, minced ginger, pepper salt, and 2 tablespoons of water, and mix well. Add 2 teaspoons of soy sauce, 1/2 teaspoon of sesame oil, and cornstarch, and mix thoroughly. Place the mixture in a plastic bag and cut a small hole in one corner for later use.
2

Cut off the stems of the green peppers, then scoop out the seeds from the top. Soak in water for 2 minutes (soak longer if you want them less spicy).
3

Fill the peppers with the meat mixture until full and set aside.
4

Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a pan, place the green peppers cut side down to lightly fry (this helps secure the meat filling), then place the whole pepper in the pan.
5

Cook over low heat until the surface is slightly golden, then add 2 teaspoons of soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, and 1 cup of water, and bring to a boil.
6

Reduce to low heat and simmer for about 8-10 minutes until the sauce thickens. Add a dash of sesame oil to finish. Pour the sauce over the peppers for a more appealing presentation!
