Shishito to eringi, myoga no miso-itame / stir-fried shishito peppers, king oyster mushroom and Japanese ginger buds with miso sauce

Crispy shishito and myoga stand out in this small side dish, which offers the punch of red miso against the soft and chewy texture of eringi mushroom. To ensure crispiness of shishito and myoga, cook eringi on relatively high heat to prevent it from letting out moisture and making everything soggy.

<Ingredients>

7-8 shishito Japanese sweet peppers (7 shishito, 48 g in photo)

Flip to cook the other side. (If moisture comes out, raise heat.)

<Notes>

• Both shishito and myoga can be eaten raw, and after adding shishito to the frying pan, the cooking process is very fast. Do not wait for them to cook through in the frying pan. Ideally, myoga in this dish should be almost raw in order to enjoy its zesty aroma. 
• Shoyukoji partially replaces red miso and mirin. If not available, add more miso and mirin (or other sweetener).
• Kurozu brown rice vinegar is used to give the shoyukoji some punch. It also adds a somewhat deep aroma to eringi. By adding it before other seasonings and letting it almost evaporate, its sour taste does not linger in the final dish.
