Blistered shishito peppers with soy sauce & mushroom - with only 5 ingredients, there is no excuse not to make this quick and easy shishito pepper and mushroom stir fry to brighten up your meal!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 0.5-pound Shishito peppers, washed and stems removed
  • 8 ounces mushroom (1 package), sliced
  • 1 tablespoon Grape-seed oil
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Vegetarian/Vegan Oyster Sauce

Instructions

  1. Sauté sliced mushroom in a large non-stick skillet without oil, about 3 minutes. Water from the mushroom will release as you cook the mushroom. As the water evaporates, the mushroom might stick to the pan so make sure to use a non-stick skillet. 
  2. Take the mushroom out of the pan and set it aside.
  3. In the same skillet, heat the oil and add the shishito peppers. Cook for 2-3 minutes until peppers start to blister. 
  4. Add the soy sauce and vegetarian oyster sauce to the pan. Cook for another minute or two with frequent stirring.
  5. Add the sautéed mushroom back in the skillet. Cook for additional 1-2 minutes. Serve with cooked rice, quinoa, or noodle. 

Notes

  • To remove the stem of shishito pepper, hold the bottom part of the stem that covers the top part of the pepper, and gently snap it while in twisting motion. 
  • Once you add the oyster sauce, sugar from oyster sauce might start to burn so make sure to stir the mixture frequently while stir-frying the peppers and mushrooms. 
  • All the salt from soy sauce and oyster sauce is enough to season the whole dish. So there is no need to salt them additionally.
