Here’s a simple, healthy side dish with a lot of color – perfect for summer. Nothing too much to say here, except this recipe is best if you can find some really good local peppers from your farmer’s market. It’s all about the quality of the ingredients.

Bell Peppers…… 3 different colors ( in this recipe we have red, yellow and green)
Toasted Sesame Seeds……. 1 tablespoon
Soy Sauce….. 1 tablespoon
Mirin……. 1/2 tablespoon
Green Shiso…. chopped, for a garnish
Light Olive Oil…..for frying, about 1 tablespoon or less
