Stir-fried green chili peppers (Gochu-bokkeum)

Remove the stems from the shishito peppers.

Wash the peppers thoroughly under cold water and drain.

Cut the washed peppers into bite-sized pieces.

In a bowl, add 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour to the cut peppers and toss them until they are evenly coated.

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the cooking oil.

Add the flour-coated peppers to the hot skillet, spreading them in a single layer.

Cook for about 2 minutes without stirring. While they cook, finely chop the onion and mince the garlic.

After 2 minutes, stir the peppers and continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes until they are blistered and slightly browned.

Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pan.

Stir-fry briefly, then turn the heat down to medium and add the soy sauce. Stir everything to coat well.

Continue stir-frying until the onions become translucent.

Turn off the heat and stir in the sesame oil.

Transfer the stir-fried peppers to a serving bowl.

Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and serve.
