In Japanese, bell pepper is called piman (pee-mahn)...chee comes from cheese.
The bell peppers here are teeny.
Cut the bell pepper in half lengthwise and clean.
Fill with cheese then wrap with a thin slice of pork belly.
The way pork belly is sold, actually meat in general, is that everything is put into styrofoam trays so a lot of times you can't tell how long the piece of meat is, or how many pieces there are..which is why the pork belly I bought for this was too short...boo!Salt and pepper to taste.
Cook for 4 minutes on low in a non-stick pan and flip over and cook for another 4 minutes.
Not really a recipe, yeah?!
NOTES: If possible, try to make sure there are no holes when wrapping the pork or your pi-cheese's cheese will leak out into the pan like mine did.
Also, when eating, be careful as everything inside the bell pepper is super hot!
I'm glad I tried this, it was easy and delicious.
I'll make this again.
