Blistered Shishito Peppers with Madame Susan Sichuan Dipping Sauce
Appetizer, Side Dish (Vegan)
5 minutes prep, 10 minutes cooking time
Shishito peppers are a wonderfully healthy appetizer or snack that’s quick and easy to make. Only about 1 in 10 are spicy. Madame Susan’s Sichuan Dipping Sauce dresses up these peppers oh so well!
Ingredients:
- 3 cups of fresh shishito peppers
- 3 tbsp of olive, avocado, or any oil you use for cooking
- 2 tbsp Madame Susan Sichuan Dipping Sauce
Equipment:
- Large frying pan, wok or cast iron skillet
Directions:
- Wash shishito peppers, pat dry, and place in a bowl. Make sure you dry the peppers to prevent splatters when cooking.
- Drizzle about 1 tbsp of oil on the peppers and toss to coat the peppers well. This ensures even blistering.
- Heat remaining 2 tbsp of oil in a pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Madame Susan finds medium-high heat the sweet spot for blistering and even cooking.
- When pan is hot, put in the peppers and cook until you see blisters and darkened spots forming and the pepper starts to shrink just a little bit (about 7-9 minutes).
- Turn off the heat. Add in Madame Susan Sichuan Dipping Sauce (ensure to shake well to mix the oil and vinegar solution). Toss to coat evenly. Serve immediately while hot.
