- Combine the pork, mushrooms, shrimp, egg, spring onions, ginger, soy sauce, rice wine, salt and cooking oil in a bowl. Stir well to make the filling. Use this filling to stuff each capsicum.
- Cut the stuffed capsicums into 3.5cm long pieces and seal the cut edges with the cornflour paste.
- Heat the oil in a wok over high heat. Fry the capsicum wedges in the oil until the meat is just cooked. Drain on a paper towel lined plate.
- Transfer the capsicums onto a heatproof dish. Steam the capsicums for about 10 minutes or until the meat is fully cooked. Pour out any liquid that may have collected in the dish.
- Pour the pork stock, soy sauce, rice wine, salt and sesame oil into a wok and bring to the boil.
- Add the remaining cornflour and cook until the sauce is thickened. Drizzle the sauce over the capsicums and serve.
