Ingredients

King prawns

24 skewered king prawn tails

pickled ginger (optional)

500 gram bag frozen edamame (soy beans )

lemons or lime cut into edges

Caramelised miso

2/3 cup light coloured miso

1 tablespoon warm water

1/4 cup mirin or sherry

3 tablespoon soft brown sugar

1 tablespoon white wine vinegar

small pinch chilli powder

1/3 cup softened unsalted butter

Method

1.Preheat oven to 200ºC.

2.Line a baking tray with baking paper or a nonstick mat. Evenly spread the miso over the mat and bake for around 20 minutes or until the edges of the miso are lightly burnt (yes, lightly burnt is good).

3.Remove from oven and allow miso to cool until just warm. Scrape miso into a liquidiser together with all remaining ingredients. Blend until smooth and you can see small flecks of burnt miso. At this stage it can be used straight away or put in the fridge for up to one month. This recipe makes more than needed but it’s so easy to have a little more in the fridge for whenever you are short on time.

4.Pan fry the prawn skewers whenever you are ready. Cool slightly, coat with warm caramelised miso and sprinkle with pickled ginger if using.

5.Serve in the centre of the table with steamed edamame and lemon wedges.
