Instructions
Toss the Shishito peppers with the oil and salt to lightly coat.
Heat an extra-large skillet over medium heat. Add the peppers and let them blister, tossing every 3 minutes or so, until most sides are blistered and blackened and the peppers just begin to soften.
Set the peppers aside on a plate and quickly crisp the garlic in the same pan over medium heat, adding a little more oil if necessary, letting them get golden and fragrant. Add the peppers back into the pan to warm. Turn heat off.
Drizzle with the sesame oil, soy sauce and give a good toss. Platter, sprinkle generously with the Furikake Seasoning. Serve immediately. They are also fine served at room temp!
