Method
-
To make the prawns, toss the prawns in the oil and season with salt. Place in a hot dry frying pan and fry for a minute or two until cooked. Add the garlic, ginger, chilli and lemon juice, immediately transfer to a plate and leave to cool. When cool, chop the prawns.
-
To make the kale, preheat the oven to 220C/200C Fan/Gas 7. Massage the kale with the oil. Mix the miso and lemon juice in a bowl and stir into the kale until well coated. Place on a baking tray and roast in the oven for 5–10 minutes until crisp. Remove and sprinkle with the salt and sugar.
-
To make the mayonnaise. blitz the egg yolks with the basil in a food processor. Add a drop of oil to the egg mixture and mix slowly to incorporate. Keep gradually adding the oils, making sure every drop is incorporated before adding more and eventually pouring in a thin, steady stream until a thick mayonnaise is formed. Add a squeeze of lemon juice and season with salt.
-
To make the sticky rice, mix the rice, pepper, vinegar, sugar and sesame seeds in a bowl. Heat the oil in a frying pan and form the rice mixture into small rectangles. Fry the rice rectangles on both sides until crispy.
-
To serve, top the crispy rice with the chopped prawns and basil mayonnaise. Serve with the miso kale alongside.
