Sweet and sour tiger pepper

Overview

Dad likes to eat chili. When we were young, the only dish he could cook and was the best at was stir-fried chili with chives. Stir-fried with fresh leeks and super spicy peppers, the green plate looks unattractive, but it tastes so good that your mouth will water when you smell it. Because I have been eating spicy food since I was a child, I can't help but taste spicy food. Later, after working, no matter where I went to eat with colleagues from Sichuan, Hunan, and Jiangxi provinces, I never lost in spicy food. Today’s sweet and sour tiger pepper is sour, sweet and spicy. It is a favorite even if it is not spicy. Not only can it be used as a snack for dad, but it can also be regarded as a diet dish for me. The capsaicin contained in hot peppers can not only promote intestinal peristalsis, but it is also a good helper for reducing fat and burning calories. It is delicious and does not make you gain weight. This is an extremely simple dish that can be called a zero-difficulty dish, but it is really delicious, sweet and sour, and goes very well with rice. I think the step that cannot be omitted is to pat the peppers with a kitchen knife before cutting them. Flattened peppers are not only easier to soften when fried, and are better for frying to produce tiger skin patterns, but also can better absorb the flavor of the sauce after adding it. When I'm particularly lazy, I don't even cut it. I just slap the whole pepper with a kitchen knife and put it in the pot.

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 First of all, we need to prepare all the ingredients and seasonings needed to make this [Sweet and Sour Tiger Peppers]. The remaining peppers in the refrigerator are a little wilted. First wash the peppers in water. If you are afraid of spicy food, remove the pepper seeds. If you are not afraid of spicy food, you don’t need to remove them. Then take them out and drain them for later use.

   

2. 2 First, place the drained peppers on the chopping board and pat them with a knife. Then cut the peppers into sections for later use. You can choose any length. You don’t have to cut them if you are too lazy to cut them. Then flatten the garlic with a knife and chop finely. Take an empty bowl and add 5g of sugar, 10ml of vinegar, 15g of oyster sauce, 10ml of drinking water, and 2g of starch, mix well and set aside.

   

3. 3 Heat the wok over medium heat until it is hot in the palm of your hand. Pour in 10ml of peanut oil. When the oil is hot, turn to low heat. Add the pepper segments into the pan and fry slowly over low heat. Then use a spatula to keep pressing the peppers so that they all touch the bottom of the pot and heat evenly. When the pepper softens slightly and a burnt aroma comes out, and the tiger skin is cooked out, you can flip it over and fry the other side.

   

4. 4 When the pepper becomes soft and the tiger skin is fried on both sides, use a spatula to remove the pepper to one side, add minced garlic and sauté with base oil until fragrant. Pour in the previously prepared sauce, stir-fry evenly and bring to a boil over high heat.

   

5. 5 Cook for a while and let the sauce slowly soak into the peppers. When the soup thickens and is basically wrapped around the peppers, turn off the heat and serve. The soup does not need to be too dry, you can leave some soup to mix with the rice to make it super fragrant. The super simple and delicious sweet and sour tiger pepper is ready. Sweet, sour and spicy, it goes very well with rice. If you don’t know what to eat for lunch, give it a try!
