What kind of chili peppers are these?
Having a long weekend, we have some new recipes we want to try. I found this recipe for Fried Green Chili Stuffed With Pork Stuffing .
Unfortunately, the recipe doesn't say what type of chilies these are. They appear to be longer but more slender than a jalapeño, and just a little lighter in color. Per the recipe, each chili would hold roughly 62g of the stuffing.
I'm sure that I have seen these but can't remember what kind they are. I've been looking online, as well, but haven't found any that really look like they are these chilies.
We're going on the hunt. If anyone can tell me the name of this chili pepper it would be most appreciated.

Those are "standard" green chilies. They might be Anaheim, California, New Mexico or Hatch. It's hard to tell from the picture, but the varieties are interchangeable. Just know that the New Mexico or Hatch varieties are hotter.
It may be a Chinese recipe, but I'm guessing that the chili is New World.

Answer 2
It's hard to tell with the sauce, but they look like they could be Korean chilis. I'm not sure if they have a more specific name, as I have only seen them sold as "Korean chili". They are fairly similar in flavor to North American green chilis, but maybe a bit hotter. They are usually a bit longer, and quite a bit more slender than something like an Anaheim chili.
Answer 3
More than likely Shishito Pepper
