Ingredients

White miso dressing

Method

Main

1.For white miso dressing, dissolve dashi powder in 1 tbsp boiling water and set aside. Finely grind sesame seeds with a mortar and pestle. Mix in miso, sake, yolk, sugar, mirin and sansho pepper, mixing well between each addition before adding the next ingredient. Thin with dashi (about 3 tsp) to a thick cream consistency.
2.Heat oil in a deep saucepan to 180C. Deep-fry cauliflower in batches until caramelised and tender (3-5 minutes; be careful, hot oil will spit). Remove with a slotted spoon, drain on paper towels and season with salt. Spread miso dressing onto serving plates, top with cauliflower, dust with furikake, scatter with shiso leaves and serve.

Furikake seasoning is a mix of bonito flakes, sesame seeds and nori. Furikake, shiso, shiro miso and sansho pepper are available from Japanese grocers.
