Chinese-Style Stuffed Peppers
Serves 4
Preparation time: 5 minutes
Cooking time: 16 minutes
Ingredients
350g
Quorn Mince
2 tbs oil
2 cloves garlic, crushed
5cm (about 40g) fresh ginger, peeled and grated
3 – 4 tbs Hoi Sin sauce (a spicy plum sauce)
175ml water
2 tsp five spice powder
1 large orange pepper
1 large yellow pepper
4 tsp sweet chilli sauce
1 tbs sesame seeds, toasted
Method
1. Heat oil in a medium saucepan. Add garlic and ginger and fry gently,
stirring for about 30 seconds. Add Hoi Sin sauce, water and five spice
powder and stir well. Add the Quorn Mince. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring
frequently until the Quorn has softened and the mixture is moist.
2.
Cut the peppers in half lengthwise, removing the seeds and pith. Place
the pepper halves, cut side up in a microwave dish. Fill each
half with the Quorn mixture. Put about 2-3 tbs water in the base of the
dish and cover dish with cling film.
3. Pierce the cling film in three places and microwave at full power
(800 watts) for about 8-10 minutes until the peppers are cooked. Discard
the liquid in the dish.
4. Top each pepper with 1 tsp sweet chilli sauce and sprinkle with toasted
sesame seeds. Your favourite savoury rice or noodle dish makes an ideal
accompaniment.
