3.Heat vegetable oil in a large, wide-based saucepan over medium heat, add shallots and garlic, cook for 3-4 minutes until soft, then add dashi, soy sauce and mirin and simmer for 5 minutes. Add peas, simmer for 4-5 minutes, then add ocean trout to pan in a single layer, cover and simmer for 4-5 minutes until just cooked. Carefully remove trout from pan and flake into large pieces.

4.Add ginger to pea broth, stir to combine and ladle into four bowls, then top with flaked trout, and sprinkle with green onions and toasted nori. Serve immediately with sesame salt, togarashi and rice passed separately.
