Asian night market snacks

Blistered Shishito Peppers

1. In a dehydrator (or air fryer on dehydrate mode), place ½ cup of drained kimchi evenly apart on baking sheet and set on dehydrate (generally overnight).  Next day, place kimchi chips into a processor and pulse to a fine salt-like grind.  Store in a sealed container.
2. Heat oil in a medium pot or sauce pan and place on medium-high heat.  When oil has reached maximum heating level, place shishitos into pot (ensure they are not wet).  Allow peppers to fry for 2-3 minutes or until they are blistered.  Remove and set on cooling rack or drain oil off peppers.
3. While hot, place in a stainless mixing bowl and toss with kosher salt.  Plate peppers and sprinkle with kimchi dust.
