Generally, it'll have one (or some combination) of three ingredients: floor shrimp, fish, or pork. For this recipe, I used shrimp for a lighter texture and likewise because…shrimp is awesome. If you do use pork, I mean utilizing a fattier floor beef for higher style and texture.
As for the peppers, you possibly can use bell peppers of any color, lengthy hot inexperienced peppers, cubanelles–you identify it. As you’ll see within the photos, we’ve used equally inexperienced bell peppers and lengthy hot inexperienced peppers. We’ve also got a number of pepper seedlings within the garden, and I recognise that we could be experimenting with special models of this Chinese crammed peppers dish as soon as they bounce producing!
