Equipment

  • large cast iron skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces shishito peppers
  • Toasted sesame oil for drizzling
  • Sea salt
  • Sesame seeds for sprinkling
  • Tamari for serving
  • Peanut Sauce for serving

Instructions
 

  • Heat a large cast iron skillet to high heat. Add the peppers to the dry skillet and cook, tossing occasionally, until tender and blistering, about 6 to 8 minutes. As you work, try to keep the peppers in a single layer so that they make consistent contact with the hot pan.
  • Drizzle the peppers with sesame oil, and sprinkle with sea salt and sesame seeds. Serve with tamari and peanut sauce, for dipping.
