Servings: 8 people
Calories: 194kcal
Ingredients
- 15-20 Jalapeno cut in halves and take out seeds
- ½ tablespoon corn starch sprinkle on jalapeno
- ¼ cup corn oil to fry
- 5-8 garlic cloves roughly chopped
- 2-3 tablespoon water
Filling
- ½ pound ground pork
- 10-14 large shrimp de-veined and peeled then mince
- ½ tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon chicken bouillon
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon corn starch
- 1 egg
Instructions
- Cut off the stems of the jalapeno. Cut jalapeno in half and take out the seeds. Make sure you wear gloves to do this so your hands don't burn later.
- (optional) Soak the jalapeno in water for 1-4 hours. Then pour out the water. This helps to make the jalapenos less spicy.
- Mince the shrimp until it forms a paste.
- To make the filling, mix ground pork, minced shrimp, soy sauce, salt, chicken bouillon, olive oil, and corn starch. Mix in one direction for 50+ times until the filling is gelatinous and sticks together.
- Sprinkle some corn starch on the inside of the jalapeno to ensure that the filling sticks to the jalapeno during frying. If you skip this step, the filling and the jalapeno might fall apart during cooking.
- Place the filling in the jalapeno and press down to ensure it sticks to the jalapeno.
- Heat pan to medium heat. Once the pan is hot, add 2-3 tbs oil. You may need to fry the stuffed jalapenos in a few batches. Overcrowding them will make them not as crispy.
- Fry jalapenos for 4 minutes with a cover. Then, add 2 tbs water to the pan and cover for 2 minutes.
- Flip the jalapeno over and add some chopped garlic to the oil. Fry for one more minute. Enjoy with some hot rice!
