Contributed by Catsrecipes Y-Group
== Ingredients ==
* 4 green peppers
* 2 eggs, separated
* 9 oz (250 g) lean boneless pork
* 2 tsp flour
* ½ tsp scallions, chopped
* ½ tsp cornstarch (cornflour)
* ½ tsp fresh ginger, chopped
* 2 cups vegetable oil for deep-frying
* 1 tsp salt, or to taste
* ½ tsp spiced pepper-salt
* 1 tbsp soy sauce
* ¼ tsp msg (optional)
* ¼ tsp five-spice powder
== Directions ==
# Wash, halve length-wise, and seed the green peppers.
# Cut each half into two triangles and dry well.
# Set aside.
# For the filling, mince the pork and mix it with the scallions, ginger, salt, soy sauce, five-spice powder, msg (optional), and half the egg white.
# Beat the rest of the egg whites with the yolks and mix with the flour, cornstarch and enough water to make a thick batter.
# Fill the inside of each piece of pepper with the filling level to edges and coat the filled side with flour.
# Heat the oil in a wok over medium heat to 350°F (175°C) or until a piece of scallion green or ginger sizzles and moves about rapidly when tossed into the oil.
# Dip the filled side of each piece of pepper into the egg batter and then drop it into the oil, filled side down.
# Deep-fry until the coating is golden brown, then remove, drain well, and place in a dish, sprinkle with the pepper-salt and serve.
