Hunan Hengyang Fuzi Chili is a Hunan local dish. Its preparation has certain procedures from ingredient preparation to production steps.

Ingredients to prepare include: green chili pepper, glutinous rice, Chinese toon powder (or five-spice powder), salt, oil, garlic, and onion.

The production steps are as follows: 1. Select fresh old green peppers that are large and fleshy, remove the stems, and cut a slit to make it easier to stuff the glutinous rice flour into the peppers.

2. Fry the glutinous rice and grind it into powder.

Be careful to grind it with tiles or machinery, but the glutinous rice flour produced by modern machinery may have a worse taste.

3. Add salt and toon powder to the glutinous rice flour and stir evenly.

Then pour in an appropriate amount of warm boiled water, stir until it can form a line when you hold it with your hands, and it can be loosened but not loose.

4. Stuff the glutinous rice flour into the peppers and make sure there are no gaps inside the peppers.

5. Put the stuffed peppers into a pickle jar and store them in a cool and sealed place for at least a week.

6. After a week, take out the pickled "Fuzi peppers", pour rapeseed oil into the hot pot, add the peppers after the oil boils, fry over medium heat until brown, remove and place on a plate.

The above is how to make Fuzi pepper in Hengyang, Hunan.
