Why is Sichuan tiger skin green pepper called tiger skin?
The finished product looks like a tiger pattern. Tiger skin green pepper, also known as tiger skin sea pepper, is a Sichuan cuisine dish made of green pepper as the main material. This Sichuan dish of tiger skin green pepper is first dry-fried until the skin appears yellowish wrinkles, and then stir-fried with oil until the wrinkles make the skin swell and crack. After this treatment, the skin of green pepper forms mottled burnt spots, which looks like the pattern of a tiger, so it is named tiger skin green pepper.
