About this dish
Large seared prawns served over a light, savory dashi broth infused with cherry tomatoes. The broth is clean and bright, seasoned with a blend of Filipino cane vinegar and rice vinegar for a layered acidity. Whole peeled cherry tomatoes add sweetness, while pickled red onions and julienned mangetout provide a crisp texture. It is finished with fried garlic and toasted pine nuts for a savory, nutty crunch. This starter comes ready to heat and serve, offering a refined balance of seafood and umami-rich broth.
⚠️ Allergens: crustaceans, molluscs (kombu/dashi), sulphites (vinegar), tree nuts (pine nuts)
