Have you tried Japanese bell peppers?

Japanese green peppers are actually representative food that many kids hate to eat.

A lot of those kids think it tastes too bitter or something… so their mothers sometimes think out the way to feed green peppers.

I think STUFFED PEPPERS is the best way in this situation. Green peppers become so soft by baking well, and bitter taste almost go away.

Also the sweet sauce made out of ketchup and sugar would definitely loved by everyone!

Some people may surprise that I use miso paste for this sauce (and even for stuffing).
But miso paste amazingly generates rich flavor, and this dish become even better!

Please enjoy GREAT Japanese style of stuffed peppers!
