Salads and Appetizers Recipes - Seafood Sticks and Spring Onion Rafts with a Lemon and Miso Sauce Recipe

Ingredients

• 3 bunches spring onions

• 15 seafood sticks

• 5 Tbsp white miso

• 5 Tbsp mirin

• 5 tsp sugar

• 1/2 tsp grated lemon zest

• 1/2 tsp freshly squeezed lemon juice

Serves 4

Method:

1. Cut the spring onions to the same length as the seafood sticks. Boil the spring onions in a pan of water for 3 minutes. Drain, quickly rinse with cold water, then squeeze off any excess water.

2. To make the sauce, put the miso, mirin and sugar in a pan over a low heat. Keep stirring for 1 to 2 minutes until the mixture is blended. Turn off the heat, add the lemon zest and juice and mix well.

3. Place two seafood sticks on a plate, then lay the spring onions over them crosswise. Repeat to create another layer of seafood sticks and another layer of spring onions to form the small "raft". Pour the miso sauce over each raft, and serve.

Note: Simple ingredients combine to produce a really great flavor for this dish, which can either be served as an appetizer, or as a main course served with rice and two extra surimi sticks on each "raft".
