Ingredients

  • 12 Anaheim chili peppers, charred and peeled (about 240 g)
  • 1 pound beef strips (about 450 g)
  • 240 ml milk
  • 120 g all-purpose flour
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 tsp (5 ml) baking powder
  • 1 tsp (5 ml) baking soda
  • 1 tsp (5 ml) salt
  • 1 tsp (5 ml) vegetable oil
  • vegetable oil for frying


Instructions

  1. Take out the seeds and inner membranes from the chili peppers. Insert a beef strip into each pepper.
  2. In a small mixing bowl, combine the milk, 120 grams of flour, beaten egg, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil until smooth. Spread the remaining flour on a flat dish.
  3. Fill a heavy skillet with 1 inch of vegetable oil. Warm it over medium-high heat.
  4. Coat each pepper in flour, then submerge in the batter. Fry them in groups until both sides are golden brown.

  • Thoroughly remove seeds and inner membranes from chili peppers to reduce spiciness.
  • Use a heavy skillet for even frying of stuffed peppers.
  • Adjust heat as needed to maintain consistent frying temperature and prevent burning.
