Why not try shishito peppers the Japanese way? Blistered Shishito Peppers with Ginger Soy Sauce is a simple yet flavorful dish that combines lightly charred shishito peppers with the bright, refreshing flavor of ginger soy sauce.
In a bowl, combine the soy sauce and grated ginger, and mix well.
Make a small slit in each shishito pepper using the tip of a knife (or prick each one with a fork). Remove the stems so the peppers can be eaten whole with chopsticks. (If eating them by hand, you can leave the stems on.)
Heat oil in a pan. Once the pan is hot, add the shishito peppers in a single layer and cook over medium-low heat until blistered on both sides and tender.
Transfer the peppers to the bowl and toss them with the ginger soy sauce. Let them sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Notes
The dish will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
