Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh shishito peppers
  • 1 tsp. sesame oil
  • 1 tsp. soy sauce - or Bragg's Liquid Aminos
  • Juice from ½ lime - about a 1 tsp.

Instructions

  • Add 2 tsp. of sesame oil to a frying pan with 2 cups of shishito peppers. Give them a nice stir to make sure they're fully coated.
  • Allow the peppers to sauté over a medium flame without moving them for 3 minutes to allow one side to blister. Then, lift the pan and flip them to allow them to blister on the other side. Continue to sauté, flipping them from time to time for a total of 10 minutes. If you want them "well done," give them 15 minutes in the pan.
  • Turn off the heat and pour 1 tsp. of soy sauce (or Bragg’s Liquid Aminos) into the pan. Shake the peppers in the sauce quickly until fully coated. 
  • Squeeze about 1 tsp. of fresh lime juice into the pan, and give it one more shake to coat all the peppers. Serve immediately. 

Notes

You'll require a large frying pan and wooden spoon or spatula for this recipe.
