Notes
- These peppers cook FAST so keep an eye and be sure not to overcook them.
- Cook these at a higher heat so they blister without becoming overcooked.
- Add a dash of soy sauce if you skip the sambal.
- Once cooked, remove them from the pan quickly so they don't overcook.
- These make a great snack but are also delicious with steak.
- Do not store uncooked peppers in a plastic bag in the refrigerator or they will spoil quickly.
