shishito
Mild Asian pepper
Shishito is a small, slender East Asian pepper, typically mild but occasionally hot—about one in ten packs unexpected heat.
Usually bright green, blistered in a hot pan or grill, and served with salt: We ordered shishito peppers as an appetizer.
The slight gamble on spiciness is part of their appeal.
