Equipment

Ingredients

½ lb shishito peppers washed and dried
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Sauce

1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 cloves garlic grated
½ teaspoon honey
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon sesame seeds

Garnish

Flaky sea salt optional

Instructions

Prepare the shishito peppers. Use a knife to make a slit in each pepper. It will allow steam to escape from and prevent them from bursting.
Cook the shishitos peppers. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large pan over a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot add the 1/2 of the peppers to avoid overcrowding the pan, let them brown before flipping. Cook on each side until blistered on all sides, about 4-6 minutes.
Toss with sauce. In a mixing bowl, add soy sauce, garlic, honey, sesame oil, and sesame seeds and mix until combined. Toss the shishito peppers in the sauce until evenly coated. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and serve.
