Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking dish by lightly greasing it with oil.

  2. Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes from the inside. Set them aside.

  3. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground chicken or turkey until browned and cooked through.

  4. Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet, stirring occasionally until the onion is translucent.

  5. Stir in the chopped shiitake mushrooms and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until softened.

  6. Add the cooked sushi rice, soy sauce, mirin, sesame oil, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Mix well and let the flavors meld together for a few minutes. Remove from heat.

  7. Carefully spoon the chicken and rice mixture into each bell pepper until filled to the top. Place the stuffed peppers in the prepared baking dish.

  8. Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the peppers are tender but still hold their shape.

  9. Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10-15 minutes to allow the tops of the peppers to brown slightly.

  10. Remove the stuffed peppers from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.

  11. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
