Stuffed Bell Peppers

Created a new recipe yesterday and loved it enough to write it down.

Stuffed Bell Peppers
4-6 red, yellow or orange bell peppers.
Slice off top (retain)
Scoop out seeds and membrane

1 lb pork
1 Tbsp canola oil

4 green onions chopped
1/2 head cabbage chopped
1/2 cup bean sprouts chopped
Mix chopped ingredients together and set aside

1 tsp minced ginger
2 garlic cloves minced
1/2 tsp serrano pepper powder
1 Tbsp rice wine Shao Hsing (cooking sherry is an acceptable substitute)
1 Tbsp soy sauce
1 Tbsp honey
Mix the seasonings together and set aside

Salt and Pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F

Begin by sauteeing the pork, when it is mostly done, add the remaining ingredients. Allow to cook a few minutes partially wilting the cabbage.

Stuff peppers with mixture and place on pan (I use a glass casserole pan). Leftover mixture can be put around the peppers. Use toothpicks to secure pepper tops back onto peppers.

Bake in oven till peppers are the done to your taste. 20 minutes will leave them with a bit of crunch.

This was surprisingly yummy.
