Ingredients
Method
Heat a large, heavy skillet over high heat. When very hot, add oil. Working in 2 batches, add shallot rings and cook until very crisp; remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Pour oil from the pan into a cup. Measure out 3 tablespoons and place in a small bowl; discard any remaining oil. Add lemon juice, miso and 1 tablespoon water, and whisk until smooth. Set aside.
Wipe out the skillet. Place over high heat. When very hot, add haricots verts and ¼ teaspoon of the salt. Let them cook undisturbed until browned and blistered, about 2 minutes. Stir and continue to cook until browned and blistered on all sides, about 3 to 4 minutes more. Transfer to a platter.
Return the skillet to high heat and repeat the cooking process first with shishito peppers, then with mushrooms, sprinkling each with ¼ teaspoon salt and transferring each to the platter in turn.
Place the skillet back over medium heat and add chile; cook 1 minute, then add to the platter.
When ready to serve, drizzle with miso dressing and top with crispy shallots.
