Ingredients

• 3 bell peppers
• 400 g minced meat
• 2 eggs
• 1 tbsp light soy sauce
• 1 tbsp cooking wine
• 1 tbsp oyster sauce
• 2 tsp salt
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 1 tbsp pepper powder
• to taste minced ginger
• to taste minced garlic
• to taste hot oil
• 1 tbsp cornstarch

Instructions

1. 1Season the minced meat

   

   Place the minced meat in a glass bowl and add light soy sauce, cooking wine, oyster sauce, salt, sugar, pepper powder, minced ginger, and minced garlic. Pour hot oil directly over the seasonings to release their aromas.

   Tip: Pouring hot oil over the seasonings helps unlock their fragrance quickly.
2. 2Mix the ingredients

   

   Using a spatula or chopsticks, thoroughly stir the seasoned minced meat mixture inside the glass bowl until well combined.

   Tip: Mix thoroughly to ensure the seasonings distribute evenly throughout the meat.
3. 3Add cornstarch

   

   Sprinkle cornstarch into the meat mixture and continue stirring to help bind the ingredients together and retain moisture.

   Tip: Cornstarch helps give the meat a tender texture after baking.
4. 4Incorporate an egg

   

   Crack a fresh egg directly into the meat mixture and stir evenly to enhance richness and binding.

   Tip: Adding an egg keeps the meat juicy during the cooking process.
5. 5Prep the bell peppers

   

   Place bell peppers on a wooden cutting board and cut them carefully into halves using a knife, removing cores and seeds.

   Tip: Ensure the halves are clean and hollowed out to hold the meat filling securely.
6. 6Stuff the bell peppers

   

   Scoop portions of the prepared minced meat filling and stuff them neatly into the hollowed bell pepper halves.

   Tip: Pack the meat firmly so it stays secure inside the pepper during baking.
7. 7Arrange stuffed peppers in baking pan

   

   Place the bell pepper halves filled with the minced meat mixture neatly inside a rectangular purple baking pan, ensuring they are spaced well and ready for baking.

   Tip: Arrange them in a single layer to ensure even cooking and browning.
8. 8Place the baking pan into the oven

   

   Carefully slide the baking pan containing the stuffed bell peppers into the preheated oven at 200 degrees to bake for 20 minutes until fragrant.

   Tip: Make sure the oven is fully preheated to 200 degrees before putting the tray in for optimal baking results.
