- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger , minced

- 2 teaspoons honey
- Sea salt or flake salt , for garnish

Instructions
- 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.

- 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.

Notes
- *I buy shishito peppers from Trader Joes or Whole Foods, but you may find them in the produce section at your local store.
- Variations:
- *Dip them: Serve them with a simple aioli sauce--I use this aioli sauce from my crab cakes recipe.
- Make them Spicy: Mix honey with a tiny bit of sriracha or hot chile sauce and drizzle over the peppers. Or, add some crushed red pepper flakes.
- Fun Garnishes: One of my favorite ways I’ve seen these served as an appetizer was with chopped fresh mint, basil and cashews on top.
