Blistered/Grilled Shisito Peppers (콰리 고주) w/ A Super Simple & Low Calorie Coleslaw - Modern Pepp


As you may have noticed, Grilled Shisito Peppers have become so popular on the appetizer section of menus, even at non-asian restaurants.

This recipe is super easy to make at home! The blistered/grilled peppers are sweet, tender with a just a slight hint of peppery taste. NO, these peppers are not spicy at all.

In Korean, Shisito Peppers are called 콰리 고주 "Kwari GoChu." Kkwari means twisted and GoChu means peppers.

RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS:

Wash and dry all the peppers. You can leave the stem on the peppers, so you can use it to pull off the peppers from the skewers. Pre-soak your bamboo skewers (fully submerged in water) for 10 to 20 minutes. Add one onion wedge to the skewer, followed by 2 to 3 peppers, then a wedge of onion, and more peppers.

Season both sides of the skewered peppers/onion with olive oil, kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.

To make the soy sauce vinaigrette, combine the ingredients and set aside.

To make the GoChuJang (optional) dressing, combine the ingredients and set aside.

Preheat your cast iron skillet at high setting on your stove, and let it preheat for 4 to 5 minutes. If using an outdoor grill, follow the same steps below, with your grill setting at high temperature.

While the cast iron is preheating, add the thinly sliced cabbage to a large serving platter. Season with your fancy salt (Kosher salt will suffice, too), and freshly ground black pepper. Use your hands to gently toss the cabbage. Sprinkle the minced green on top and let it rest while we cook the pepper skewers.

You skillet should be piping HOT by now. Make sure to turn on your exhaust fan, open up all the windows/doors in your kitchen. Place the pepper skewers on the skillet. You should soon see smoke rising from the skillet. Let it sizzle for 30 to 6o seconds. Take a peak to see if there are any blistering marks (dark brown marks) on the peppers. Once you see the blistering marks, turn the pepper skewers over and cook on the other side until you see blistering marks.

Remove the pepper skewers and place on top of the of shredded cabbage platter. Then quickly drizzle the soy sauce vinaigrette on the pepper skewers. (Most of the vinaigrette will fall through and soak the cabbage underneath it. Then the cabbage will naturally absorb the vinaigrette.) Using a spoon, lightly drizzle the GoChuJang dressing on the pepper skewers. You can also put this dressing on the side for your guests to enjoy as a condiment for the pepper skewers.
