Gochu jeon

Method

1. 1 Cut the bell pepper lengthwise, then remove the seeds while leaving the stem intact.
2. 2 Drain the tofu well and mix it with minced meat, scallions, garlic, and sesame oil.
3. 3 Mixing tofu into the filling helps keep it soft and prevents it from shrinking and separating from the chili shell.
4. 4 Stuff the chili peppers with the filling, then coat the cut surface with flour.
5. 5 Dip the filled side into the beaten egg, then pan-fry with the filling side down for 4 minutes.
6. 6 Flip the chili pepper over and cook the skin side down for 3 minutes, then dip it in soy sauce mixed with vinegar.
