Charred Shishito Peppers With Fried Eggs
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1/2 teaspoon hot mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon lightly toasted white sesame seeds
- 1 clove garlic, peeled and minced
- 1 (2-inch piece) fresh ginger, peeled and grated
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
- 3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon, canola oil (divided)
- 4 large eggs
- 4 cups fresh shishito peppers
- 8 thinly sliced radishes
- 2 teaspoons black seaweed seasoning mix (nori komi furiake)
- Make the sauce: In a blender or mini-food processor puree soy sauce, vinegar, honey, mustard, sesame oil, white sesame seeds, garlic, ginger, and black pepper until smooth. With the motor running, drizzle in 1/2 cup canola oil until sauce is emulsified; set aside.
- Fry the eggs: Warm a large nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add 1/4 cup oil, then crack the eggs into skillet taking care to keep the yolks intact. Raise heat to medium-high and cook the eggs to your liking while basting the whites occasionally with the oil in the pan to help them set up.
- Char the peppers: Meanwhile, heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a separate large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is very hot, but not quite smoking, add the peppers, tossing occasionally, until they begin to char on all sides.
- To serve: Divide the warm peppers and radish slices between four plates. Top each with a fried egg, a drizzle of the prepared sauce and a good sprinkling of roasted black seaweed seasoning. Serve immediately.
