  1. OH SO SWEET

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread out the sweet potato wedges on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and season. Roast in the hot oven for 30-35 minutes until cooked through and crisping up, shifting halfway.

  2. SESAME, CRACKLE & POP

    Place the sesame seeds in a deep pan over medium heat. Toast for 2-4 minutes until they begin to pop, shifting regularly. Remove from the pan and set aside to cool.

  3. PREP STEP

    In a small bowl, combine the mayo and the togarashi spice (to taste). Loosen with a splash of water and set aside. Slice ½ the apple into thin wedges. Place in a bowl along with the carrot ribbons and ½ the picked coriander. Just before serving, add the ponzu sauce to the salad and toss until coated.

  4. TASTY TEMPURA

    When the sweet potato has 10 minutes remaining, pour 50ml of cold water into a bowl. Gradually whisk in the flour and a pinch of salt (don’t overmix, lumps are fine in this case!) Return the pan to a medium-high heat with 2cm of oil covering the base. Place the kingklip strips in the batter and toss until coated. Using a pair of tongs, lower each piece into the hot oil. Fry for 3-4 minutes, turning as they colour. Remove from the pan, drain on paper towel, and season.

  5. SIMPLY STUNNING!

    Plate up the sweet potato wedges, the ponzu salad, and the tempura kingklip. Sprinkle over the toasted sesame seeds and the remaining coriander. Serve with the togarashi mayo for dunking. Great work, Chef!
