  • 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder

Method
 

  1. Rinse Shishito Peppers under running water and dry them completely with a paper towel.
  2. Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large Wok on medium-high heat. Add Shishito Peppers. Toss to coat the oil all over the peppers. Cover with the lid and cook for 5 minutes.

  4. In a small prep bowl, combine split Mustard seeds, turmeric powder, and salt.
  5. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil in the same wok and heat it until hot. Turn the heat off. Add the pickle mixture to the oil and stir. Cover it with a lid and let it rest for 10 minutes.
  6. Remove the lid. Add charred Shishito Peppers and Lemon juice. Toss well until well combined.
  7. Serve them immediately or store them in an airtight jar or container in the refrigerator
