Blistered shishito peppers are a great appetizer you can find at a lot of restaurants right now. If you’re unfamiliar, shishito peppers are not spicy (maybe one out of a handful has a tiny kick to it), and their flesh is pretty thin. That means you can cook them at a super high heat, and they come together really quick.

Ok, so 5 minutes may be pushing it with this one but it’s definitely doable with some shortcuts! Most of the time on this one is in making the spice mix (which can be substituted with just any oriental 5 spice powder) and chopping the garlic and ginger (which can be substituted with pre chopped versions). The actually cook of the peppers happens really quick, depending on how hot your stove can get.
Oriental 5-spice powder is naturally very fall-tasting, in my opinion. Clove, cinnamon and anise primarily responsible for that. The version I make veers off on the other two spices, subbing fennel seeds and Sichuan peppercorns for allspice berries and white peppercorns. Either one you use, the flavors are really perfect together.
Most often shishitos are green, but I found a sweeter, colorful variety at my farmer’s market and they were super fun in this dish. But regardless of the one you go with, I really think you’ll enjoy it. Have you had shishito peppers? Would love to know your thoughts!
Our wood grain Shaker cabinet fronts were designed for busy, high-traffic homes like ours. Clad with durable textured thermofoils, this line is compatible with Sektion, Akurum, Godmorgon, and Besta cabinets from IKEA. It's the perfect, practical way to add the warmth of wood to all the rooms of your home.
We have teamed up with Loloi to create a line of rugs that are as affordable as they are beautiful. This collection houses a great mix of traditional and modern rugs, in cottage-y colorways, as well as vintage-inspired beauties that you’ll want to roll out in every room.
We partnered with Stuga on a line of hardwood floors — The Ingrid is really livable, and the color is very neutral. It doesn’t lean warm or cool, it’s that just right in-between. We have really loved putting it everywhere in our house. It’s the best jumping-off point for design, no matter your interior style. In addition to being beautiful, Ingrid is really durable — we have three kids, and we always have a home construction project going on. Ingrid stands up to it all.

Thanks for this recipe! Could I ask for a wok recommendation? We are looking for a new one as our current one is in bad shape and pretty basic.
Great recipe! I love shishitos and grew 8 plants this summer since I could never find them in my grocery store last year. I blister mine in a dry cast iron skillet, reduce the heat and cover until they are softened (generally under 5 minutes). I add a splash of aminos, a tsp or so of sesame oil and a generous squeeze of fresh lime. Toss it all with sea salt and black pepper and that’s it. Super easy and quick. And for heat, I’ll sometimes use ghost pepper salt or hawaiian smoked salt for a different flavor. Can’t wait to try your version, thank you!
