I added a shishito pepper plant to my garden for the first time this year and it may just be my most prolific vegetable this season. I usually sauté or roast the peppers with soy sauce and other seasonings, but opted to try frying the most recent batch for Shishito Tempura (ししとう 天ぷら). Frying shishito peppers in a thin beer tempura batter, gives them a light crunchy coating and accentuates their natural smoky essence.

To begin with this particular recipe, we must prepare a few components. You can have tempura fried shishito peppers using 8 ingredients and 5 steps. Here is how you can achieve that.
The ingredients needed to make Tempura Fried Shishito Peppers:
- Take 1 pound Shishito Peppers
- Prepare 1 cup flour
- Make ready 1/4 cup corn meal
- Make ready 1/2 cup corn starch
- Take 1 tsp baking powder
- Take 3 tsp salt

While similar to the Spanish Padrone, the shishito has a distinctive flavor and appearance all its own. The slender, finger-sized peppers are bright green in color (turning red when mature).
Steps to make Tempura Fried Shishito Peppers:
- Pour oil into a large rimmed cast iron pan and heat. I like sunflower 🌻 oil because of it’s high (450•) smoking point and neutral flavor, but any oil will do. Just get it hot as possible without any popping or smoking.
- Mix flour, corn meal, corn starch, baking powder, and salt into a large mixing bowl, pour in beer and incorporate into a batter
- Dip peppers in batter and fry them in oil until golden brown. I did batches of 8 to keep them manageable. The peppers will float, so keep tings ready to flip them over and cook both sides
- Using tongs, shake off, place them on a paper towel covered baking sheet to cool, and sprinkle with salt 🧂 immediately.
- WOW! You just made an elevated appetizer or crispy snack to share with your friends! They must love you! Consider serving with Sriracha to dip :)
I was shocked to see how many people didn't like sushi because they don't eat raw fish or fish in general. You can use shishito peppers for tempura, as you would a green bean or asparagus spear. You can blister them and put them in tacos, quesadillas, or a grilled cheese sandwich. You can stir-fry them with other vegetables. Raw shishito peppers have a hint of sweetness, and a crisp texture that similar to a green bell pepper.
