Instructions

1

Trim off the tips of the stems from the shishito peppers, then make a lengthwise slit in each one.

Note:

Make a slit in the shishito peppers so the seasoning blends in more easily.

2

Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat, add the shishito peppers, and stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes until lightly browned. Add the salt and pepper, and toss quickly to combine.

    It was a little salty, so it went really well with rice. It was delicious.

    I used giant jumbo shishito peppers, cutting them up 🔪. I reduced the oil to 1/2 tsp. Simple, spicy, and delicious 🥴
