Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Wash the fresh green peppers thoroughly under running water and remove the stems. Pat them completely dry with paper towels or a clean cloth. Excess moisture can dilute the flavor of the dish.
Step 2
Prepare the peppers based on their size. Leave small peppers whole. For medium to large peppers, cut them lengthwise in half or into quarters. If the seeds are too abundant, you can scrape them out with a knife.
Step 3
Bring a pot of water to a boil and add 1 tablespoon of coarse salt. Blanch the prepared green peppers for a very short time, about 30 seconds to 1 minute, ensuring they remain crisp and bright green. Immediately transfer the blanched peppers to cold water to stop the cooking process. Drain them well in a colander and let them cool completely.
Step 4
Once the peppers are completely cool, gently squeeze out any remaining water with your hands. Place the peppers in a large bowl and add all the seasoning ingredients: fish sauce, red pepper flakes, minced garlic, and sesame seeds.
Step 5
Gently toss and mix the peppers with the seasonings using your hands until evenly coated. Be careful not to mash the peppers; a gentle touch is key.
Step 6
Once the seasonings are well distributed, your delicious Stir-Fried Green Peppers with Fish Sauce is ready! The vibrant red color is visually appealing and whets the appetite.
