Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 16 ounces (453g) shishito peppers washed and dried well
- 1 Tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Chili garlic sauce
- Lime wedges
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds or Everything Bagel Seasoning
Instructions
- Heat a large, heavy bottom (like cast iron) skillet over high heat for 5 minutes.
- While the pan is heating, use a toothpick to poke a small hole in each pepper. This will help the steam escape while they are cooking and keep their shape.
- In a large bowl, use tongs to toss the shishito peppers in olive oil. (Note: Tossing the peppers in oil first will help you to avoid oil splatter.)
- When the skillet is hot, add the shishito peppers.
- Allow the peppers to cook for about 4-5 minutes undisturbed and get a bit of char on them.
- Toss and cook for another 3-5 minutes. Then turn the heat off and add the soy sauce, sesame oil and chili garlic sauce and toss to coat. You’ll get some steam here so be careful.
- Remove the peppers to a platter, squeeze lime juice over the peppers, sprinkle them with toasted sesame seeds or Everything Bagel Seasoning, and serve warm.

Notes
- Make sure to poke a hole in the peppers with a toothpick to allow the steam to escape. This will help them keep their shape and texture.
- Toss them in oil before heating rather than adding the pan straight to the oil. This will help get them evenly coated before adding to the pan and reduce oil splatter.
- Use a really hot pan. Make sure that your pan is hot enough by adding a little drop of water. If it sizzles right away, your pan is ready.
- Storage – keep in an airtight container inside the fridge for 5 days.
- There are 2 WW Blue Plan SmartPoints in one serving.
