Matt Sinclair

Ingredients:

Serves: 4

  • 3 tsp cornflour
  • 1 tsp soy sauce
  • 1 egg white, lightly beaten
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 16 King prawns, peeled, deveined and butterflied
  • Oil for deep frying
  • 2 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds
  • 2 Tbsp chives, chopped

Miso-Honey Sauce:

  • 3 Tbsp miso paste
  • 2 Tbsp honey
  • 2 Tbsp mirin
  • 3 cloves garlic, grated
  • 2cm piece ginger, peeled, grated
  • 1 Tbsp light soy sauce

Method:

  1. Combine the cornflour with 3 tsp of water in a medium bowl and whisk until combined and the cornflour has dissolved. Add in the soy sauce, egg white,, sesame oil and prawns and toss to combine.
  2. In a separate bowl combine the miso-honey sauce ingredients together and season to taste, set aside.
  3. Heat the deep fryer to 180C or oil in a wok until it shimmers. Fry the prawns in batches for about 1 minute before removing onto a paper towel. Repeat with remaining prawns.
  4. Bring the miso-honey sauce to a simmer in a pan over a medium-high heat. Simmer for a minute or so before adding the prawns in to cook for a further 30 seconds to minute, until the prawns are just cooked through.
  5. Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with sesame seeds and chopped chives. Serve with steamed rice and greens.
