Who doesn’t like a 6 min side dish? Blistered Shishito Peppers is just that. It’s ready within 5-6 mins from start to finish. I made this dish first a year ago and while I wrote the draft of the recipe, it never made its way to the blog. So here it is now. I love sweet soy sauce. That with the toasted sesame, ginger and lime juice, adds a subtle but still distinct flavor to the peppers. Serve this vegan, vegetarian dish as a side dish or an appetizer. Let me know if you try it! @sarchakra
