In this light and savory appetizer, Jennifer combines small Japanese green bell peppers with mackerel for a flavour-packed dish. The peppers are carefully prepared—caps removed, seed stems and calyx discarded, then sliced into thin strips. Once cut, they’re seasoned with salt, freshly ground black pepper, sesame oil, and a touch of crispy Sakura shrimp for added umami. After a quick 2-minute steam in the microwave (covered in cling wrap at 600W), ground sesame is added for a nutty finish. The Bell Pepper and Mackerel Mix is served on a plate, bursting with aroma and texture—perfect to enjoy with a glass of sake.
