This Japanese Roast leans on yuzu and sesame to do the heavy lifting. We glaze the Prawn for real depth, then bring it together in one pan.
Free to cook
Prep everything first: chop the aromatics, measure the yuzu and sesame elements, and pat the prawn dry so it colours well.
Warm the olive oil in a large pan over a medium heat and soften the onion and garlic until sweet and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Turn up the heat and add the prawn. Reduce the glaze until sticky, then turn to coat everything in a glossy lacquer.
Stir in the white miso and the rest of the yuzu and sesame flavours, letting them cook out for a minute until fragrant.
Add the red pepper along with a splash of stock or water, then cook briskly until everything is tender and the sauce clings.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper and a little acid. It should taste bright, savoury and balanced.
Tested in the Stewart & Musell kitchen. Timings assume a standard home oven and hob.
