Ingredients- 10 Korean green peppers (Ggwari Gochu)
- 1/2 pack thin tofu noodles (Pulmuone Design Mill)
- 2 Tbsp cornstarch
- Pinch of salt
- A little olive oil
- Chili sauce (for dipping) as needed
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, carefully remove the stems from the Korean green peppers. Then, using a fork, prick the surface of the peppers in a few places. This helps the seasoning penetrate inside and prevents them from bursting during cooking. Lightly sprinkle the pricked peppers with salt to season and let them sit for a short while to absorb the flavor.
Step 2
Gently pat the surface of the seasoned Korean green peppers with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture. It’s important to do this thoroughly, as excess water can prevent the cornstarch from adhering properly. Coat the peppers evenly with 2 tablespoons of cornstarch. Next, take the drained thin tofu noodles and place them over the coated peppers, then carefully roll them up tightly around the peppers. Use an appropriate amount of tofu noodles for each pepper to create neat rolls.
Step 3
Arrange the stuffed Korean green peppers with tofu noodles individually on the air fryer basket or tray, ensuring there’s a little space between each one so they don’t stick together. Lightly spritz the prepared rolls with a little olive oil. A light coating of olive oil will help them achieve a golden-brown color and a wonderfully crispy texture when cooked.
Step 4
Preheat your air fryer to 190°C (375°F) and cook for approximately 7 minutes. Cooking times can vary slightly depending on your air fryer model, so it’s a good idea to check halfway through. Ensure the peppers and tofu noodles are golden brown and have reached a crispy consistency. These stuffed peppers are best enjoyed warm, dipped in spicy chili sauce for an extra flavor boost.
