Chinese-style Stuffed Pepper

When I was still living with my parents, they would make this stuffed pepper all the time. You can find them at Dim Sum restaurants and at street food venders. The peppers are stuffed with minced fish and shrimp, then pan fried. This time, I used minced fish, which I got from the Asian grocery store. It is very easy to make. You can buy some white fish and put into the food processor to minced to paste, then add salt.



Ingredients

* 3 pepper (yellow, red, and orange each)
* 1 cup minced fish paste
* 3 tablespoon oil
* 3 tablespoon oyster sauce
* 2 teaspoon sugar
* 1/4 cup water
* 2 teaspoon corn starch

Directions
1) Wash and dry the peppers, cut into half, remove seeds and the white lining inside. Cut the pepper into pieces, square or rectangular shapes as desired.
2) Using a knife, spread the fish paste on the pepper.
3) Heat a skillet with oil in medium heat. Gently lay the stuffed peppers on the pan with the paste facing down for 2-3 minutes until light yellow brown. Turn the peppers to the other side and fry for another 2 mins or turn brown.
4) Transfer the cooked stuffed peppers onto large flat plates lined with kitchen paper to absorb the oil.
5) To prepare the sauce, mix the rest of the ingredients in a bowl. Pour the oyster sauce mix into the skillet, stir well till thicken. Pour sauce on pepper.
