Shishito Peppers with Den Miso and Bubu Arare
I had these Shishito Peppers with Den Miso and Bubu Arare at Tokyo Fried Chicken Co. in Monterey Park, CA. I love shishito peppers and now have a new way to make them. About one out of every ten peppers is spicy. The person that gets the spicy one will have good luck! Bubu Arare can be found in Japanese markets or online.

Pork Chops with Yuzu-Miso Marinade
These Pork Chops with Yuzu-Miso Marinade are perfect for the grill. The marinade is made with a combination of miso, sake, mirin, yuzu kosho, scallions, and sesame oil, which gives the pork chops a rich and complex flavor. The yuzu kosho adds a bit of heat and brightness, while the miso and sake give the pork chops a deep umami flavor. My guests went crazy for these.
