  • Whisk together sesame oil, soy sauce, ginger, and garlic in a large bowl. Add shishito peppers and toss to combine. Let marinate for 15 to 20 minutes, tossing occasionally.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and heat a grill pan on the grates.
  • Remove peppers from marinade, letting excess marinade drip back into the bowl. Place peppers on the preheated grill pan and cook, tossing every 1 to 2 minutes, until evenly charred, 5 to 7 minutes.
