Shredded pork with green pepper is also considered as a representative dish of Japanese Chinese food. In Japan, this dish is mainly made of beef and has been improved to suit the local taste.
The greatest contribution of shredded green pepper is that it reverses the Japanese prejudice against green pepper. Japanese people's aversion to green peppers is well-known, and it has even become a common stalk in cartoons (see Crayon Shinchan). However, since shredded pork with green peppers was introduced to Japan, many people have said that they have misread green peppers, not because they are unpalatable, but because they can't cook them.
