Poké-Style Watermelon
Watermelon is perfect in a poké bowl, or as a salad in its own right. Refreshing, with a little chilli bite, and perfect for preparing in advance, this will be your summer go-to for picnics or a light meal. Enjoy it as-is or pimp it up with some avocado, edamame, rice and other poké favourites.
Ingredients
2 tsp white miso
1cm piece ginger, peeled and grated
2 tsp sriracha
2 tsp rice vinegar
2 tsp soy sauce
2 tsp mirin
1 Tbsp olive oil
2 tsp sesame oil
1kg wedge watermelon
1 spring onion, finely sliced
1 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds
1 packet seasoned seaweed (nori)
Method
In a small food processor, blend the miso, ginger, sriracha, rice vinegar, soy sauce and mirin, along with the olive and sesame oils.
Cut the watermelon into 2cm cubes and combine it with the dressing in a bowl or a large zip lock bag. Cover and refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours, or overnight, stirring occasionally.
Remove the watermelon from the dressing and toss it with the spring onions and sesame seeds. Transfer to a platter and scatter over the nori just before serving.
