The chef’s method of cooking tiger skin green peppers is to boil a full pot of oil, soak and fry the whole green peppers, drain them, and then add seasonings to make them flavorful.

It is much easier to make homemade tiger skin peppers. Put the green peppers directly into the pan and stir-fry them until the skin gradually becomes wrinkled. After adding the salad oil, the cold oil is quickly absorbed by the green pepper when it meets the hot pan. The flesh of the green pepper shrinks, and the skin swells and wrinkles dramatically, shaped like tiger skin, hence the name. The ingredients are also simple, starch dissolved in water, add soy sauce, minced garlic, and you can also add sugar, bean paste, sesame seeds, etc. according to personal taste.

Choose fresh, tender, thick-fleshed large green peppers, remove the core, heat the pan without adding oil for 3 minutes, then add the green peppers on low heat and stir-fry repeatedly until the skin is almost dry and covered with spots. Remove from the heat, wash the pan, then add oil, bring to a boil, add the green peppers, add the black bean sauce, and simmer for a while until the peppers are slightly wilted. Finally, put it in a bowl, add a little MSG, soy sauce and an appropriate amount of vinegar, and stir.

(4) Flatten first and then fry:

Another way to make tiger skin green peppers is to choose fresh medium-sized green peppers from the market.

Heat the wok until it is almost red (at least 3 minutes), add the green pepper and stir-fry repeatedly until the skin is almost dry and the pepper changes color. The skin turns white but the pepper must remain intact.

Take the pot off the stove and wash it. Put a little oil in the wok (you can also use the leftover oil from frying various things at home), put the green peppers in one by one and fry for half a minute, then quickly remove and set aside. Put a small amount of clean salad oil in the wok again, and when it is slightly hot, add garlic and ginger cloves each a little bigger than a thumb, 10 drops of white wine, an appropriate amount of salt, 4 spoons of vinegar, 2 spoons of soy sauce, and 4 spoons of sugar.
