Compared with the previous stuffed chili peppers, today’s pan-seared green chili pepper is much simpler. The charm of chili is not only its challenge to the palate, but also that it is the vegetable with the highest vitamin C content. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, chili pepper is hot in nature which can remove the cold and keep the body warm.
Pan-seared is called “虎皮（tiger’s skin）” in Chinese, which comes from its wrinkled skin after being seared. Pan-fried chili peppers, coated with juice, is a good dish with rice. Foreigners know Sichuan cuisine and it seems to start with chili, although not all Sichuan dishes are spicy. We have to admit that many dishes are enlivened by the addition of chilli. Today’s tiger skin chili peper with only one ingredient is just as lovely, and those who have tried it know how lovely it is.
