Description

These grilled shishito peppers with ginger, garlic, sesame, and soy might become your new favorite summer side — great with grilled salmon or steak.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon finely grated ginger
1/2 teaspoon grated garlic
8 ounces shishito peppers, rinsed
salt to taste

Directions

1 Whisk together sesame oil, soy sauce, ginger, and garlic in a large bowl. Add shishito peppers and toss to combine. Let marinate for 15 to 20 minutes, tossing occasionally.
2 Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and heat a grill pan on the grates.
3 Remove peppers from marinade, letting excess marinade drip back into the bowl. Place peppers on the preheated grill pan and cook, tossing every 1 to 2 minutes, until evenly charred, 5 to 7 minutes.
4 Return charred peppers to the bowl with marinade and toss to coat. Sprinkle with salt and serve.
