Blistered Shishito Peppers with Ginger Soy Sauce
INGREDIENTS:
- 5 oz shishito peppers
For the Ginger Soy Sauce:
- 1 TBSP soy sauce
- ½ tsp ginger (grated, with juice)
- ½ tsp honey (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS:
To Make the Ginger Soy Sauce:
- Combine 1 TBSP soy sauce, the grated ginger, and ½ tsp honey in a medium bowl and whisk them all together. Set aside.
To Roast the Shishito Peppers:
- Make a small slit in each of the shishito peppers. This will allow the steam to escape and prevent them from exploding.
- Heat a large frying pan on medium-high heat. When it‘s hot, add the shishito peppers and let them brown without disturbing them. Once the bottom side is nicely charred, flip over the peppers and roast until the other side is blistered and charred. (No oil is necessary ~ You can put the shishito peppers directly onto the frying pan when it’s hot.)
- Transfer the blistered shishito peppers from the pan directly to the bowl with the ginger soy sauce. Coat them well with the sauce. Serve warm or at room temperature.
