What is the authentic way to cook tiger skin peppers?

Tiger skin peppers are a very simple dish to make. Although there are not many ingredients required, they taste extraordinary and are especially good with rice. Many people like to eat them. Peppers have many benefits for the human body. They can strengthen the stomach and help digestion, prevent gallstones, enhance immunity, and are also helpful for weight loss. What are the authentic ways to cook tiger skin peppers? Let’s take a look at it next.

1. Prepare the ingredients: 8 hot peppers, 2 cloves of garlic, 1 teaspoon of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar, 1 tablespoon of white sugar, 2 tablespoons of oil, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. 2. Step 1. Wash the peppers, cut off the stems, dig out the seeds with a knife, and gently make some small cuts on the surface. Wipe dry the water from the surface of the peppers. 2. Peel the garlic, place it on the chopping board and smash it with a kitchen knife, then cut it into finely minced garlic. Combine soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, sugar, and salt in a bowl and mix well. 3. Pour oil into a frying pan, heat over medium heat until it is 40% hot, and place the dried chili peppers in the pan. You need to turn the peppers over from time to time and press them gently with a spatula so that the skin on each side of the peppers is fried until it becomes wrinkled. 4. Heat the wok over medium heat, pour in a little oil, and when the oil is 40% hot, add the minced garlic and stir-fry until fragrant. 5 Pour the pre-mixed sauce into the pot and heat it until boiling while stirring. 6. Add the fried chili peppers to the sauce, stir-fry until the sauce thickens and serve on a plate.

3. Note: The seasoning used for tiger skin peppers is very simple, but if you add the seasonings one by one during frying, it is easy for the flavors of the various seasonings to not blend well, resulting in the failure of the dish. So mix the seasonings evenly in a bowl in advance to avoid a rush. 4. Effects of pepper: 1. Strengthen the stomach and aid digestion. As mentioned earlier, chili peppers have a stimulating effect on the mouth and gastrointestinal tract, can enhance gastrointestinal motility, promote the secretion of digestive juices, improve appetite, and inhibit abnormal fermentation in the intestines. Some medical and nutrition experts in my country conducted a survey in Hunan, Sichuan and other provinces and found that the incidence of gastric ulcers in these provinces, where people generally like to eat chili peppers, is much lower than that in other provinces. This is because chili pepper can stimulate the release of prostaglandin E2 in the human body, which is beneficial to promote the regeneration of gastric mucosa, maintain gastrointestinal cell function, and prevent and treat gastric ulcers. 2. Prevent gallstones. Eating green peppers regularly can prevent gallstones. Green peppers are rich in vitamins, especially vitamin C, which can convert excess cholesterol in the body into bile acid, thereby preventing gallstones. People who already have gallstones can eat more green peppers rich in vitamin C, which can help alleviate the condition. Red apples and red peppers prevent and treat breast cancer - Researchers recently discovered that "red-skinned" fruits and vegetables, such as red apples and red peppers, have preventive and therapeutic effects on tumor diseases such as breast cancer.
