Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking pan or baking dish with foil. Place halved bell peppers on pan and set aside until ready to fill.*
• In a large, deep skillet, heat about 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat. Add diced onion and sauté until softened and fragrant, about 4-5 minutes. Add turkey meat (or desired protein) to skillet and sauté until no longer pink.
• Toss in carrots, broccoli and zucchini and cook for about 4-5 minutes until just starting to soften. Add quinoa and stir to combine.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together soy sauce, water, sesame oil, sriracha, ginger, garlic and cornstarch {try to make sure there are no cornstarch lumps if possible}. Add to meat and vegetable mixture and stir until everything is well-coated and sauce is slightly thickened. Remove from heat.
• Spoon filling evenly among bell pepper halves.

CHINESE STUFFED PEPPERS

Steps:

• Use a cleaver or knife to finely mince the shrimp into a very fine paste. This process entails chopping and folding the shrimp paste over and onto itself, and continuing to chop. Transfer the shrimp paste to a bowl.
• Chop the scallions. Set aside half of the green portion for the sauce. Add the rest of the chopped scallion to the shrimp, along with 1 teaspoon salt, 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil, 1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch, 2 teaspoons Shaoxing wine, and white pepper to taste. Use a fork to beat/whip the shrimp until it is smooth and all the ingredients are well-combined.
• Pop the stems off the bell peppers and follow the lines of each pepper to cut into 3-5 segments. Remove the seeds. If using long hot green peppers, just cut them in half lengthwise and remove the seeds.
• Stuff each pepper segment with the shrimp mixture until the filling is even with the edges of the peppers. You can also trim the ends of the peppers to ensure they are flush and at the same level of the filling. This will make the peppers easier to cook.
• Heat a tablespoon of oil in a wok or skillet over medium high heat and place the peppers in the oil, stuffing side down. Cook until they are browned, about 2 minutes. Turn the peppers over to sear the bottoms for another 2 minutes, turning the heat down if they start to get too dark. If using the long hot green peppers or another variety of thin-fleshed pepper, simply transfer them to the serving plate.
• If using bell peppers, which have thicker flesh and take longer to cook, add 2 tablespoons of water to the pan, cover, and steam for another 2 minutes, or until the peppers are just tender. Set aside on a serving plate.
• It's time to make the sauce, which only takes a couple minutes. Heat the wok over medium heat and add the oil, garlic and fermented black beans. Stir-fry for a few seconds and add the shaoxing wine. When the wine is bubbly, add the rest of the sauce ingredients (except the cornstarch slurry) and bring to a simmer. Once simmering, add the cornstarch slurry gradually until the sauce is thick enough to coat a spoon. Stir in the reserved scallions and spoon the sauce over the peppers to serve.

ASIAN-STYLE STUFFED PEPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place a stainless steel or cast iron skillet over medium heat. Oil the peppers lightly with 1 tablespoon olive oil and place in the hot skillet, turning frequently to just blister the skins and begin to brown them on all sides, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove peppers to a cutting board. Turn off heat.
• Remove the top of one pepper, cutting as close to the stem as possible to save as much of the pepper as possible. Carefully removed the inside seeds and membrane. Do not puncture the pepper! Repeat with remaining peppers. Place peppers on a baking sheet.
• Bake peppers in the preheated oven until tender, 30 to 45 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat remaining tablespoon oil in the same large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add steak and season with pepper. Cook until just done and pink has disappeared, about 5 minutes. Remove steak to a bowl and set aside.
• Add onion and garlic to the skillet, with more oil if needed. Cook and stir until onions are just translucent, about 5 minutes. Add bok choy and carrots. Cook, stirring frequently, for 2 minutes; remove from heat. The bok choy will overcook quickly and you want it to still have some texture to it.
• Combine steak and vegetables; stir in unagi sauce. Fill peppers with as much filling as possible, using the back of a spoon to pack down if necessary. To serve, place each pepper on its own plate.
