Instructions

1. 1Prepare and Season Minced Meat

   

   Place 400 grams of minced meat into a glass bowl. Add a spoonful of light soy sauce, a spoonful of cooking wine, a spoonful of oyster sauce, a proper amount of salt, a small amount of sugar, chicken bouillon, five-spice powder, and minced green onion and ginger.

   Tip: Make sure to add all the basic seasonings first to build a strong savory base for the meat filling.
2. 2Pour Hot Oil Over Aromatics

   

   Pour hot oil directly over the chopped green onions, ginger, and seasonings resting on top of the minced meat to release their aromatic flavors.

   Tip: Pouring hot oil over the aromatics instantly unlocks their fragrance and enhances the overall flavor profile.
3. 3Mix in Starch

   

   Add a spoonful of starch to the seasoned minced meat mixture and use chopsticks to mix everything thoroughly.

   Tip: Starch helps bind the meat mixture together and keeps the filling tender and juicy during baking.
4. 4Add an Egg

   

   Crack one fresh egg directly into the seasoned meat mixture bowl to add moisture and rich texture.

   Tip: Adding an egg ensures the meat filling remains soft and succulent after cooking.
5. 5Stuff the Green Peppers

   

   Cut the green peppers in half and use chopsticks to firmly stuff each halved pepper completely with the prepared minced meat filling.

   Tip: Pack the meat filling tightly into the pepper cavity so it stays secure and cooks evenly.
6. 6Arrange on Baking Tray

   

   Arrange the stuffed green peppers neatly in a single layer on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, preparing them for the oven.

   Tip: Space them out evenly on the baking tray to ensure proper heat circulation and even cooking.
7. 7Set oven temperature and time

   

   Adjust the oven settings to upper and lower heat at 200 degrees for 20 minutes to prepare for baking the stuffed green peppers.

   Tip: Make sure to preheat your oven properly to ensure even cooking.
8. 8Place the stuffed peppers into the oven

   

   Arrange the stuffed green peppers neatly on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, then carefully slide the tray into the preheated oven.

   Tip: Leave a little space between the pepper pieces on the tray for better heat circulation.
