  • serves 2 people
  • preparation 10 minutes
  • cooking 5 minutes
  • difficulty Easy level

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup white (shiro) miso
  • 1 tbsp mirin
  • 1 tbsp sake
  • 2 mulloway cutlets
  • vegetable oil, for drizzling
  • 1 tsp shichimi togarashi, to serve

Amazu cucumbers

  • 2 short cucumbers, peeled at intervals
  • 4 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp caster sugar
  • ¼ tsp salt

Marinating time: 2 days

Instructions

  1. Combine the miso, mirin and sake in a bowl and mix well. Spread over the fish and place the fish in a press-seal bag. Seal and refrigerate for 2 days.
  2. Meanwhile, for the cucumber, cut the cucumber into 1 cm batons (the whole length of the cucumber) and place in a press-seal bag. Add the vinegar, sugar and salt. Squeeze the air out of the bag and seal. Refrigerate for 1 - 2 days.
  3. To cook the fish, remove from the bag and scrape or wipe as much of the marinade off as possible. Place the fish on an oiled baking tray, drizzle with a little oil and grill under high heat for 5 - 6 minutes (you don't need to flip the fish). Serve the fish with the cucumbers and a little shichimi togarashi on the side.
