- Combine the pork, mushrooms, shrimp, egg, spring onions, ginger, 2 teaspoons soy sauce, 1 teaspoon rice wine, 1 pinch salt and 1 1/2 tablespoons cooking oil in a bowl. Stir well to make the filling. Use this filling to stuff each red pepper.
- Cut the stuffed peppers into 3.5cm long pieces and seal the cut edges with the cornflour paste.
- Heat the oil in a wok over high heat. Fry the red pepper wedges in the oil until the meat is just cooked. Drain on a kitchen towel-lined plate.
- Transfer the red peppers onto a heat-proof dish. Steam the peppers for about 10 minutes or until the meat is fully cooked. Pour out any liquid that may have collected in the dish.
- Pour the pork stock, 2 teaspoons soy sauce, 1 teaspoon rice wine, salt, MSG and sesame oil into a wok and bring to the boil. Add the remaining cornflour and cook until the sauce is thickened. Drizzle the sauce over the peppers and serve.
