Shishito Pepper with Tofu 尖椒豆腐

An exotic delicacy iconic to izakaya (Japanese tapas/appetizers/bar food), the Shishito Pepper has become a ubiquitous and fashionable finger-food of late. Here’s why: Shishito Peppers are enormously delicious and a bit daring, couldn’t be simpler to prepare, are famously finger-friendly, and make perfect appetizers. Note:Shishito pepper is not spicy hot.

All you need...

• 1 bag of shishito pepper, or other kinds of pepper.
• 1 block of tofu
• Salt, sugar, soy sauce and cooking oil

Easy to make...

• Wash and clean the shishito pepper. Cut it open long way and take out the seeds.
• Place cooking oil in the bottom of wok or other cooking pan. Brown the pepper all both sides until turning soft. 
• Add sliced or cubed tofu. Do not add any water. Reduce the heat to medium if necessary.
• Sprinkle some salt, sugar and soy sauce as much as the taste that you like. Stir fry until the sauce is reduced.

Serve with steamed white rice or eat as appetizer.

Drink a cup of warm honey lemon drink every morning with empty stomach, it will help you to detox your body. I use the same slice of lemon in the drinking water until the lemon taste is gone.

All you need...

• Lemon, thin sliced
• Pure honey
• A glass jar with cover

Easy to make...

• Wash the lemon well and slice as picture below.
• Drop honey on the bottom of the jar, add lemon slice, add honey, add lemon slice again...until all lemon slices wrapped with honey. Cover and leave in the refrigerator for a least overnight or 2-3 days.
• In the morning, place a slice honey lemon and a tsp. of the juice in a cup of warm water...Enjoy!

If too sour for you, you may add some sugar and mint to your drink.
