Ingredients
  

For the Peppers
  • 10 peppers Shishito Peppers Enjoy them whole, just discard the stems.
  • 0.5 tablespoon Avocado Oil Can swap with olive oil if preferred.
  • 1 tablespoon Furikake Adjust to fit your taste preferences.
  • to taste pinch Flaky Salt Kosher salt is a suitable substitute.
For the Aioli
  • 1/3 cup Kewpie Mayo Rich creaminess; can use regular mayo as an alternative.
  • to taste tablespoon Sriracha Adjust based on your heat tolerance.
  • 1 clove Garlic Freshly grated; can use garlic powder in a pinch.
  • 1 teaspoon Toasted Sesame Oil Use sparingly due to concentrated taste.

Equipment

  • cast iron skillet

Method
 

Directions
  1. In a bowl, mix kewpie mayo, sriracha, toasted sesame oil, and grated garlic. Stir until well combined and refrigerate for a bit to let the flavors meld.
  2. Rinse and towel dry the shishito peppers. Toss them in a bowl with avocado oil, ensuring they’re well coated for optimal blistering.
  3. Heat a cast iron skillet with avocado oil in a 500°F oven until it's nice and hot.
  4. Carefully remove the skillet from the oven. Add the shishito peppers in a single layer; they should sizzle immediately. Switch your oven to broil and move the skillet to the highest rack for about 1-2 minutes.
  5. Using tongs, carefully turn the peppers when they have light charring. Return them under the broiler for another 1-2 minutes until they’re beautifully charred on all sides.
  6. Transfer the blistered peppers to a platter, drizzle with toasted sesame oil, sprinkle with furikake and flaky salt, and serve with the creamy garlic sriracha aioli on the side.
