Orange Blossoms Shredded Pork With Capsicums (花开富贵肉丝)

cny reunion orange blossom shredded pork
Capsicums are beautifully coloured fruits that come in red, green & yellow colours. In Britain, they’re called Chilli Peppers; in US & Canada, they’re known as Bell Peppers; in Australia & Asia, people call them Capsicum; & in some countries, Paprika.

Capsicums, Bell Peppers or Chilli Peppers are just some names of a genus of tropical pepper plants that can grow in a wide variety of shapes & sizes, which can be eaten raw or cooked.

During a recent trip to Japan, I savoured a tasty dish at the Tokyo Grand China. The idea of replicating this popped up during my planning for my CNY Reunion Dinner this year.

As I could only find Red & Green Peppers, I used Oranges to replace the Yellow Peppers. These oranges not only help to enhance the colours in the dish, but also add some new year cheer to my menu. Don’t you think these oranges did a wonderful job to my plating?

  5. I like the name of "orange blossoms". Hey Shirley, I will be in Singapore mid March. Schedule is already pretty tight, but do you have one restaurant/ eatery that is your absolute favourite at the moment that you would say, "don't miss" when you're in town?

  17. Hi Shirley,

    I like your idea of presenting food in capsicum cups. The pasta looks very "handy" to eat from the capsicum cup or... bowls.
