Blistered Shishito Peppers

Ingredients

• 6 ounces shishito peppers
• 2 teaspoons sesame oil
• a few pinches kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional)
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 2 teaspoons rice wine vinegar (or cider vinegar)
• 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon honey

Instructions

1. 1

   For the blistered peppers: Heat a large skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Once hot, add sesame oil.

2. 2

   When oil is hot and starts to shimmer, add the peppers and fold to coat evenly with the oil. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, turning the peppers every minute or so, to allow them to blacken and blister.

3. 3

   Serve blistered peppers on a small platter, sprinkled with kosher salt and sesame seeds. Offer the soy honey dipping sauce or simply a small bowl of soy sauce for dipping.

4. 4

   For the soy honey dipping sauce: Simply stir all ingredients together and serve with blistered peppers. For a super simple dip, just use soy sauce!
