  • 2 teaspoons neutral oil
  • Pinch of flaky sea salt

Charred scallion vinaigrette:

For serving:

Instructions

Char the scallions and shallot:

  • Preheat the oven to 450ºF. Place the scallions and shallot on a baking sheet and coat with 2 teaspoons neutral oil. Use your hands to ensure they are evenly coated. Add a pinch of salt. Transfer to the oven for 8 to 10 minutes until charred in spots, flipping once midway through.

Prepare the vinaigrette:

  • Transfer the scallions and shallot to a food processor and pulse until smooth. Add 1 tablespoon lime juice, 2 teaspoons sesame oil, 1 teaspoon honey, 1 teaspoon shichimi togarashi, and 2 tablespoons neutral oil. Continue pulsing until smooth. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons water to loosen up the vinaigrette. Taste and add salt.

Blister the shishito peppers:

  • Turn on the broiler. Arrange the shishito peppers on the same baking sheet used for the scallions and shallot. Coat with 2 teaspoons neutral oil. Roast under the broiler for 5 to 8 minutes, flipping periodically as they begin to blister and pop. Remove from the oven and immediately season with a pinch of flaky sea salt.

To serve:

  • Transfer the shishito peppers to a serving bowl and spoon the vinaigrette on top. Finish with crispy shallots and sliced scallions. Enjoy!
