Pounding peppers are a famous Zhangjiajie dish. The traditional cooking method is to fry peppers first, and then soak in cold water, skin them, mash in a bowl, and finally mix with seasonings. This dish combines the green chili pepper dish and pan-seared cooking of Sichuan cuisine. It’s suitable for home cooking, with a fantastic taste. Many pounding peppers use big green peppers, but big green peppers are not spicy enough. Small peppers are very spicy, and taste better in steamed buns.
