instructions
    1

    Start by rinsing the 200 grams of shishito peppers under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.

    2

    In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat until hot.

    3

    Add the shishito peppers to the skillet and cook them for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are blistered and slightly softened.

    4

    Once the peppers are blistered, add 2 tablespoons of soy sauce to the skillet. Stir well to evenly coat the peppers.

    5

    Continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes, letting the soy sauce caramelize slightly and coat the peppers.

    6

    Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the peppers to a serving dish.

    7

    Garnish with 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds, and finely chop 1 piece of green onion to sprinkle on top for added flavor and color.
