Sautéed Sesame Soy Shishito Peppers
I recently made some chicken and cashew lettuce wraps and paired them with this easy sautéed sesame soy shishito peppers recipe. Shishito peppers are mild in heat but flavorful and the Asian flavors make these tasty peppers shine. My kids thought they were tasty and my husband and I enjoyed them too. These peppers are quick and easy to make and so delicious.

Wow, this looks so good! Haven’t played with shishito peppers, but they’re so popular now. Really need to get on the bandwagon! Super recipe — so much flavor. Thanks.
I have never seen this type of pepper. I’ll have to look for them because this recipe looks very good.
great flavors! i’ve seen these peppers in recipes, but never at the store. i’m really eager to try them!
These would make a great party snack! Love the sesame seeds sprinkled on top too.
I’ve never seen these peppers here but I’m sure I can substitute them as this looks like a great snack
Shishitos are my favorite appetizer as of late, and I love how you’ve prepared them!
These little beauties sound fantastic. I’d like to stuff them with some spring roll type veggies, dip them in tempura, and deep fry them. Can you tell that I skipped lunch?
Made these last night and they are delicious and addicting!
