Apparently in Japanese this is "piiman no nikuzume". Hehe piiman. Adorable.
From what I can tell, this recipe actually uses a Japanese variant of bell peppers that's a bit smaller. I cant get those but I thought for a bit of fun instead of buying bell peppers, I found some Spanish Padron peppers. They're a lot smaller but they're mild, bitter and good for frying.
But mama, i dont know if i CAN (*canned laughter*)
Sliced them smaller
EVEN SMALLER
getting low on my supply of chopped frozen spring onion
This didn't specify what kind of mince, so I bought a pork + beef mixed mince because its nice. Mixed everything together with cooking sake, soy sauce and salt.
The frozen spring onions make my fimgers so colb
stuffing the piiman! this might take a while.
Wait, we're frying these?? That threw me off. I really thought we'd grill them or something. We fry them with a pan lid on and hope they cook through. (spoiler: they did)

Surprisingly moreish. The distinctive flavours of the meat and bamboo shoots go really nicely together and I don't mind the bitter aftertaste of the green peppers. They make for a fun finger food with these smaller peppers and would be great at a buffet or in a lunchbox with some rice. Next time I would still grill/oven cook them though, then you can do them all at once and they'd be less wet and oily.
