In a medium pot, fill with oil about 2-3 inches deep and heat to 350 degrees F – measure with a candy thermometer.
In a medium bowl, beat together the water and egg yolk until frothy. Using a fork, whisk in the flour and cornstarch until just combined, about 30 seconds.
Wipe the shishito peppers with a dry paper towel, then dip a pepper into the batter to coat completely. Place the pepper in the heated oil. Repeat with more peppers, only frying a few at a time. Fry until golden on all sides, 3-5 minutes, then transfer to a towel-lined plate or rack and sprinkle with salt while still hot. Repeat with remaining peppers, letting the oil get back to 350 degrees F between batches.
To make the sauce, combine the soy sauce and honey in a small saucepan. Cook over low heat for about 4 minutes, until the sauce is gently boiling. Stir in cilantro, green onions, garlic and salt and cook for another minute.
Transfer sauce to a dipping bowl and serve with the tempura peppers.
