The first time I made this food for my in laws in America, they called them “stuffed peppers,” and I found there are different kinds of stuffed peppers in America. The common American stuffed peppers are sweet peppers baked in the oven. Of course, the taste is different from these Korean stuffed peppers, but the idea of filling peppers with some ingredients and cooking them is the same. Anyway, I wanted to share Korean stuffed peppers with you. This is a holiday food, and it is one of my favorite foods. I learned how to make this from my mom. The marinated beef, hot pepper, and egg combination gives you a very tasty and happy flavor. We usually use less spicy peppers for this recipe because you don’t want the peppers to overpower the other flavors. If you can’t eat spicy food then I recommend that you use sweet peppers instead. I used both peppers in this recipe. You can eat this dish just plain or as a side dish.
Yield: 3 Servings

Video Instructions
Main Ingredients
- 6 Hot Peppers
- 1 Sweet Pepper
- 4 Eggs
- ¼ Cup Flour
Beef Ingredients
- 1 Cup Ground Beef
- 1½ Tbsp Green Onion
- 1 Tbsp Minced Garlic
- 1½ Tbsp Soy Sauce
- ½ Tbsp Cooking Wine
- 1 Tbsp Sugar
- 1 tsp Sesame Oil
- ⅛ tsp Black Pepper
Directions
In a bowl, combine 1 cup of ground beef and all of the other ingredients for the beef. Set it aside for at least 30 minutes to marinate.
Slice sweet peppers 1 inch thick. Slit the hot peppers with a knife. To remove the seeds, wash the hot peppers and sweet peppers with water. Remove the water, and these are ready to be filled with the beef.
Add the marinated beef in a medium heated pan. Cook until the beef has completely cooked.
Cool the cooked beef then put the beef in the peppers.
Break 4 eggs, add 4 pinches of salt, and stir it. Prepare ¼ cup of flour on a plate.
Cover the stuffed peppers with the flour.
Spread some egg mixture in a triangle shape. Place a stuffed pepper on the egg.
Add more egg mixture to one side before you roll the pepper.
Roll the pepper and fry it until the surface of the stuffed pepper becomes golden brown.
For the sweet peppers, sprinkle some flour to both sides of the stuffed peppers.
Spread some egg mixture in the pan in the shape of the sweet pepper.
Place the pepper on top of the egg.
Spread some egg mixture across the top of the pepper.
Fry it until both sides of the pepper slices become golden brown.
Enjoy. 🙂

Nice to meet you!! Wow.. please tell your friend “thanks” instead of me. Thanks to her, I got a chance to meet you..hehe Yes.. please try some Korean food. I hope you can find some you love. 🙂 Have a good weekend !!!!
The peppers used in this recipe are a mild hot – something that can be easily eaten. I recommend using hot peppers, since they taste the best. The egg, pepper, and meat all combine to make a very appetizing dish.
Hi, honey
I agree.. not super hot..but slightly hot pepper will be perfect for this recipe.
thanks !! Okay, I decided to wake you up now.. somebody suggested me to throw a pillow to wake you up..lol…and I kind of like that idea..hehe thanks for comment !! Your comments make me happy..
Awesome. My mom made the ones in the green bell pepper rings. I’ve never seen her stuff the jalapenos, but it seems like a great idea.
Hi, Susan
Yes.. a little spicy (not too much ) pepper is perfect for this dish. 🙂 Thanks 🙂
hi aeri, i tried this dish today with the sweet pepper and i find it a little bit hard to get the meat to stay within the pepper. in the end i used another method instead which worked for me. just wanna share it with you 🙂 i placed the pepper ring on the frying pan first, add the egg to the middle of the ring and then the fried minced meat. therefore i skipped the flour. but anyway, your recipe is really very very good. thank you very much! now i enjoy cooking korean dishes alot hahaha…
hi WKKeoh,
wow… you are clever.. and cute.. hehe I like your way.. because sometimes I have problem to get the meat to stay within the pepper…. nice job.. thanks 🙂
