Whats that in the peppers?

It's a chopped shrimp stuffing, the same sort of stuff that's the base in a lot of the various steamed dumplings. But this is broiled in the bell pepper and it's quite tasty.

what makes it "chinese style" ??

It came with beancurd strips and ****ake mushrooms served in a claypot. In this restaurant, they used a metal pot. The recipe usually says to saute the meat and sause together and then let the cooked meat sit over night, then put eveything in a pot the next day and heat that up.

However you cook brisket, you have to cook it a long time to break down the connective tissue. Otherwise it's just too tough.

That why we leave it out in room temp. all night.

That's dangerous - you shouldn't leave food at room temp for longer than two hours. Needs to be above 160 or below 45.
