Steps for making stir-fried green peppers and preserved eggs
You can use either Erjingtiao (long green chili peppers) or Luosijiao (snail chili peppers). Smash them with a knife, cut them into finger-length strips, mince a little garlic, and you can also prepare some fermented black beans.
In a clean, dry wok, add green peppers and stir-fry while pressing them down, as shown in the picture, using a spatula to press them down.
It's softened a little, add some salt and continue to stir-fry and press.
Stir-fry until it develops a tiger-skin pattern.
Push the green peppers to one side, add some oil, minced garlic, and fermented black beans, then stir-fry until fragrant. P.S.: Ignore the preserved egg in the picture; don't add it yet.
Add the preserved eggs at this point and mash them with a spatula. Mash them randomly; the more unevenly mashed they are, the better they taste. Stir-fry while mashing.
Finally, add a little soy sauce and stir-fry.
The green bell peppers are refreshing and spicy, with the unique aroma and chewy texture of preserved eggs. Spicy food lovers should definitely give it a try—it's super delicious! If you don't like spicy food, you can substitute large green bell peppers.
