Shake the chili
A specialty from Anren in Hunan where fresh peppers are pounded in a wooden mortar with a pestle until broken and bruised. The pounding releases the peppers' raw fragrance, and a touch of garlic and oil turns them into a rustic, fiery side.
Instructions

Heat oil in a pan, reduce the heat, add the red peppers (washed, stem removed, cut into rings) and stir-fry until cooked and softened (green peppers should be stir-fried until blistered and whitish). Note: Do not add water.
