Notes​ - Green pepper and removing seeds

As you see this is what I referred to as the long green pepper. If you smell the pepper, it smells like green bell peppers. In Chinese, these are called 糯米椒 nuo4 mi3 jiao1. The seeds are removed by cutting it half (as in the middle pepper) and using water or your fingers to rinse out the seeds.
