Ingredients
for the blistered peppers
- 6 ounces shishito pepper
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- kosher salt a few pinches
- ¼ teaspoon sesame seeds optional
for the soy honey dipping sauce:
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons rice wine vinegar or cider vinegar

Instructions
- For the blistered peppers: Heat a large skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Once hot, add sesame oil.
- When oil is hot and starts to shimmer, add the peppers and fold to coat evenly with the oil. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, turning the peppers every minute or so, to allow them to blacken and blister.

- For the soy honey dipping sauce: Simply stir all ingredients together and serve with blistered peppers. For a super simple dip, just use soy sauce!
