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

    Mix frying mix and cold water in a 1 to 1 ratio to make a batter, and coat the stuffed peppers evenly with the batter.

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.
