Shishito

Shishito peppers are traditionally served in Japanese cuisine roasted and tossed with sesame oil and a dash of soy sauce. Also perfect for making tempura and other traditional recipes. For cooking, a hole is poked in the pepper beforehand to keep expanding hot air from bursting the pepper. It’s a very productive plant. The heat is very mild, with most peppers having pretty much no heat. Traditionally shishito peppers are harvested and eaten in the green stage.
