My mother used to make this all the time when I was a kid. My little brother and I both loved this, but sometimes there would be a really really spicy shishito pepper, which would cause an uproar. So my mother made it with bell peppers. You can also make this with Manganji chili peppers, Fushimi peppers, or any non-spicy peppers!

The shishito peppers taste best when tender, but if you boil them for too long the flavor will change, so please be careful. If there are small shishito peppers, you don't need to cut them, just use them whole. It'll still taste good if you use green bell peppers cut into the same size as the shishito peppers. If you like spicy foods, use chili pepper! Recipe by Heartful Kitchen Rei
