- While the shishitos are cooking, prepare the sauce. Mix the soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, salsa macha, and brown sugar in a small bowl.
- Stir well until everything is combined and the sugar has dissolved.
- Pour the sauce mixture over the shishito peppers in the pan. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring the peppers so they get well coated with the glaze.
