Dipping Sauce:
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons fish sauce
- 2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Peppers:
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 12 ounces shishito peppers
- 1 teaspoon flaky sea salt
Instructions
- Dipping Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together garlic, mayonnaise, fish sauce, lime juice, sesame oil, honey, and red pepper flakes until smooth.
- Blistered Peppers: Heat vegetable oil in a large cast iron or heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add peppers and let them cook undisturbed for 3 minutes until they start to blister. Stir once and continue cooking undisturbed for another 2 minutes until blistered on all sides.
- Remove peppers from heat, sprinkle with salt, and serve immediately with the prepared dipping sauce.
Notes
- We recommend opening a kitchen window or cooking the peppers outside due to potential smoke while blistering.
