Step-by-Step Method
Prep the peppers
Heat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Cut off the tops, remove seeds and membranes. Bring 5 cups of water to a boil and blanch the peppers for 3–4 minutes, just until slightly softened; drain well.
Mix the filling
In a bowl, combine ground beef, onion, celery, salt, and optional pepper/garlic. Mix until evenly distributed, then spoon the filling into the peppers without packing it too tightly.
Make the sauce
Stir the tomato sauce and fermented seasoning sauce together. Add 1 cup water to keep it loose so it won’t dry out while baking.
Bake
Stand the filled peppers upright in a baking dish. Pour the sauce over and around them. Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes, then uncover and bake 10–15 minutes more until the peppers are tender and the beef is fully cooked.
Serve
Let the peppers rest for 5 minutes. Spoon a little sauce over the top before serving; pair with rice or a simple salad if you like.
