Green Pepper Sauce

静

In Chinese cooking, there is a simple and quick sauce, green pepper sauce. I use fresh green peppers (Shishito or Anaheim peppers) as the main ingredient in cooking. I add ginger and garlic for flavor. If you want to make this sauce spicier, you can use a hotter variety of green peppers or add some xiaomila chili peppers. When making green pepper sauce, I lightly roast the green peppers first without using oil. This will make the surface of the green peppers look burnt, but it softens the texture and stimulates the aroma and flavor of the peppers. Oil is used in making the actual sauce, after roasting the peppers. The finished green pepper sauce can be used as a sauce for noodles or rice.

Prepare the ingredients and clean them.
Wipe the surface of the green pepper dry. Remove the head and the seeds inside. Heat a dry wok over medium-low heat. No oil is needed. Put the green pepper into the wok. Use medium-low heat and use a spatula to gently press the green pepper so that the green pepper can better contact the hot surface of the wok.
