What's for Dinner, Tues., Sept. 9, 2025 [View all]

I'm having an Asian food day, where I fix small dishes like stir-fried shishito peppers, then a few hours later, have dumplings with hoisin sauce. Plus whatever else I can dream up, like maybe wonton soup. First up are my stir-fried, blistered shishito peppers, which I am serving with couscous and sesame salad dressing.



Shishitos before they start to blister.


Shishitos, blistered and ready to plate.
Pics by me.

They're not normally served with couscous. I'm only doing it because you get the occasional hot one and I need something to put out the fire. The salad dressing dip I used was Trader Joe's Organic Sesame Dressing. I didn't think it would be good, but it is. Again, not the traditional way this dish is served, it's just my variation.

Looking forward to wonton soup in a while!
