Savory Stuffed Bell Peppers
Seasoned Minced Meat

Juicy bell pepper halves packed with seasoned minced meat, carrots, and aromatics, baked to tender perfection with a delightfully peelable skin.

Ingredients

• 2 whole bell peppers
• 300 g minced meat
• 3 stalks scallions
• 1 small red onion
• 1 small carrot
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 1 tbsp oyster sauce
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp starch

Instructions

1. 1Add chopped vegetables to bowl

   

   Place the freshly chopped scallions, red onion, and carrots into a mixing bowl to form the vegetable base of the meat mixture.

   Tip: Ensure the vegetables are chopped into fine, uniform pieces so they blend evenly with the meat.
2. 2Season the vegetable mixture

   

   Add salt, sesame oil, oyster sauce, and black pepper directly onto the chopped vegetables in the mixing bowl to build flavor depth.

   Tip: Add the liquid seasonings gradually to ensure even distribution when mixed.
3. 3Add minced meat and binding ingredients

   

   Incorporate the minced meat, a drizzle of soy sauce, and starch into the bowl containing the seasoned vegetables.

   Tip: The starch helps bind the meat and vegetables together, keeping the filling juicy during baking.
4. 4Mix the meat and vegetables

   

   Use chopsticks to thoroughly combine the minced meat, chopped vegetables, and added seasonings in the mixing bowl until a uniform texture and mixture is achieved.

   Tip: Mix thoroughly so the seasonings distribute evenly throughout the meat and vegetables.
5. 5Cut the bell pepper

   

   Place a yellow bell pepper on a wooden cutting board and cut it cleanly in half to prepare it for stuffing.

   Tip: Use a sharp chefs knife to ensure a clean cut without bruising the pepper skin.
6. 6Fill the bell peppers with the meat mixture

   

   Use a spoon to carefully fill the hollowed-out yellow bell pepper halves with the prepared meat and vegetable mixture until full and well-packed.

   Tip: Press the filling down gently to ensure the peppers are tightly packed with the meat mixture.
7. 7Prepare the baking tray

   

   Lay a sheet of aluminum foil onto a baking tray and brush it evenly with oil to prevent sticking.

   Tip: Coating the foil with oil ensures the stuffed peppers release easily after baking.
8. 8Arrange stuffed peppers on the tray

   

   Fill the bell pepper halves with the prepared meat mixture and place them neatly onto the greased aluminum foil on the baking tray.

   Tip: Press the meat mixture firmly into the pepper cavities so it stays secure while baking.
