Instructions

6 steps
  1. 1

    Wash the green chili peppers thoroughly, slice them in half lengthwise, and remove the seeds inside.

  2. 2

    Wrap the tofu in a cotton cloth, squeeze out as much moisture as possible, and place in a mixing bowl.

  3. 3

    Add minced pork, minced garlic, and salt to the bowl with tofu, and knead well by hand until sticky to make the filling.

  4. 4

    Lightly dust the inside of the prepared chili peppers with potato starch, then fill them tightly with the meat filling.

  5. 5

    Mix 100g frying mix and 100ml cold water to make a batter, and coat the stuffed peppers evenly with the batter.

  6. 6

    Heat the oil to 170 degrees Celsius and fry the peppers for 6 to 8 minutes.

    Remove them only after the pork filling reaches at least 71 degrees Celsius at the center.

Tips

Dusting the inside of the peppers with starch keeps the meat filling securely inside while frying.
Mix the frying flour and cold water briefly and use the batter at once so it stays light and coats thinly.
