Best of all, it's super simple even total kitchen newbies can nail it on the first try. First, let's prep our ingredients. Grab four fresh green peppers, around 300 grams total. Pick straight, thick-fleshed ones. They're easy to stuff and won't tear. Cut off the stem and the bottom tip, then scoop out all the seeds and white pith inside. Take two packs of pre-made shrimp paste, about 300 grams. Snip the packaging open, squeeze the shrimp paste bit by bit into each pepper, and gently press it down with a chopstick or your finger. Fill them nice and full for maximum flavor. Once stuffed, place them on a cutting board and slice into even two finger-wide chunks. Don't cut them too small or the shrimp paste will fall out. Now let's make our signature sauce. In one small bowl, mix around 15 grams soy sauce, 2 grams salt, 3 grams sugar, 10 grams oyster sauce, and 80 grams water. Stir well. This is the flavor base for our whole dish. In another small bowl, mix 5 grams cornstarch with 30 grams water to make a starch slurry. We'll use this later to thicken the sauce so every piece gets coated perfectly dot pour about 30 grams cooking oil into a pan. Heat it to medium-low heat, 40 to 50 percent hot, then arrange your stuffed pepper chunks cut side down to set the shrimp paste first. Fry slowly on low heat. Don't flip them right away. Once the bottom turns slightly golden and the peppers start to wrinkle, flip each piece one by one. Keep frying the other side until peppers get nice blistered skin and the shrimp paste turns pale pink white, about 70 to 80 percent cooked. This locks in all the shrimp's umami flavor.

The shrimp paste is totally soaked in the sauce, and the peppers are nice and tender now. Finally, toss in about 15 grams of minced garlic for extra aroma. Stir the cornstarch water well and pour it into the pan. Crank the heat up to high and give it a quick stir to thicken the sauce, coating every piece of shrimp paste and pepper evenly.
