mayonnaise

garlic (pressed)

lemon juice

tsp black pepper

Rinse peppers and dry thoroughly with paper towels. In a mixing bowl, toss the peppers together with the oil.

Heat a large 12” cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Let it heat for about 2 minutes or until the pan is hot and just starting to smoke. Carefully add peppers in a single layer and let them sear until blistered and browned on the first side, about 2-3 minutes.

Blistered Shishito Peppers with Best Dip #shorts

This recipe for blistered shishito peppers is both easy and quick to make. It makes for a great side dish or can be served as an appetizer or snack alongside your favorite drinks. I also show you how to make a simple tangy and savory Japanese citrus ponzu sauce as a dipping sauce as well.

Easy Blistered Shishito Peppers With Dipping Sauce

g shishito peppers ((approx. 22 peppers))

sesame oil ((Optional))

lemon juice ((approx. ½ large lemon))

soy sauce

mirin ((or 1 teaspoon of sugar mixed with 2 tablespoons of water))

bonito flakes

In a small bowl, squeeze 2 tablespoons lemon juice into the bowl.If you like it very lemony, you can also zest 1/4 teaspoon of zest of the skin into the sauce as well. Make sure not to grate any of the white part of the skin (the pith) it&#39;s bitter.

Mix in 1½ tablespoons soy sauce and 2½ tablespoons mirin into the bowl. (If you don&#39;t have mirin, mix 1 teaspoon of sugar with 2 tablespoons of water to substitute it.)

Add in 1/4 cup bonito flakes and let it soak for at least 5 minutes. You can prepare the shishito peppers while the bonito flakes are soaking

After the bonito flakes had time to soak in the sauce, you can remove it and discard it.

Make the Ponzu Dipping Sauce

Wash the shishito peppers, and dry them very well with a tea towel or paper towel.

(Optional, but Highly Recommended) Puncture each shishito pepper with a toothpick or a fork at the tip. This will help the steam release during the blistering stage and not build up and burst, which can spray hot liquids on you.

Put the peppers in a bowl, and add 1 teaspoon oil. Use your hand and mix the peppers in the oil to coat them all very well.

Prepare the Shishito Peppers

On a cast iron pan, set the stove medium heat and let the pan get really hot. Make sure the pan is really hot before you put the peppers in, that is how you will get the blistering.If you are using a regular frying pan, set it to medium-high heat.Alternatively, you can also use a grill for this as well on medium heat.

Since you already oiled the peppers, you don&#39;t need to oil the pan.Add the shishito peppers into the pan, and spread them out so they are on a single layer.

Cook the peppers for about 5-6 minutes, flipping every 30 seconds to a 1 minute.If you are using a frying pan, you don&#39;t need to flip them as often and you may need to add 1-2 minutes more to the cooking time since it doesn&#39;t get as hot as a cast iron pan.

(Optional) Once the peppers are done cooking, toss them in ¼ teaspoon sesame oil and place them on a serving plate.

If you are not tossing them into sesame oil, remove them from the pan and plate it. Serve it with a side of dipping sauce, and enjoy!

Blister Them In A Hot Pan

Blistered Shishito Peppers with spicy shishito sauce and a blog post with some awesome seasoning combos and sauces plus all my favorite tips and tricks for cooking these tasty peppers!

Blistered Shishito Peppers with Spicy Shishito Sauce

TBSP avocado oil (or extra-virgin olive oil)

kosher salt (or flaked salt, to taste)

red pepper flakes

TBSP tahini

1.5 TBSP low-sodium soy sauce

rice vinegar

garlic,

tsp paprika ((sweet/regular))

¼-½ tsp ground cayenne pepper

⅛ tsp sea salt (or

Wash peppers then rub/pat dry with a paper towel or clean kitchen towel to remove any moisture. We want them nice and dry.

Heat oil in large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.

Add peppers and stir to coat them in the oil. I like using my cast iron skillet here.

Cook until they begin to blister on multiple sides, mixing around occasionally (every minute or so) for even blistering.

They should be done in approx. 8-12 minutes and you&#39;ll hear some sizzles and pops along the way. Cook to desired level of tenderness.

Season with kosher salt (or flaked salt) and enjoy!

To make this fiery dipping sauce, blend the above ingredients into a smooth sauce using an immersion blender (my fav tool ever) or a small food processor.

For a spicier sauce, add extra cayenne. You could even add a little sriracha or chili garlic sauce to the mix for both heat and flavor.

Spicy Shishito Sauce

We had tried these peppers in a neighborhood restaurant. My neighbor made a package for me that I had gotten from Giant Eagle. One for her and one for me. The sauce she used was: Sauce = light mayo, ketchup, thousand island and a little hot sauce 
She didn’t have cashews so she added roasted peanuts.

These peppers are one of my favorite snacks! I’ve even planted some in my garde. So I can have them on demand!

These spicy peppers are so delicious! I'd never made shishito peppers before, so your tips were absolutely necessary and so helpful!

This Blistered Shishito Peppers recipe will be your new favorite appetizer! I like to cook them with some ginger and a drizzle of soy sauce and honey to make them extra crave-worthy!

oz fresh shishito peppers (*see note)

ginger (, minced)

honey

salt (,

Sesame seeds (, for garnish, optional)

Aioli sauce* (, optional, for dipping)

Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium high heat. Once hot, add oil. Once hot, add peppers, spreading them out in an even layer.

Cook undisturbed for 45 seconds or so, until browned on bottom. Turn them and continue cooking, turning them every so often, until blistered on all sides. Should take about 4-5 minutes.

A few seconds before removing them from heat, add ginger to the pan and sauté. Drizzle peppers with soy sauce and honey and toss to combine.

Remove to a plate and garnish with salt and sesame seeds.
