Pork donburi

SERVES 4-6 // PREP TIME 25 MINS // COOK 20 MINS (PLUS MARINATING, RESTING)

Donburi is a classic Japanese comfort food dish comprising a savoury topping on rice. Begin this recipe the day before.

250 ml (1 cup) light soy sauce

125 ml (½ cup) cooking sake

125 ml (½ cup) mirin

100 gm caster sugar

100 gm white miso

1 tbsp freshly grated wasabi or to taste, plus extra to serve (see note)

1 kg piece boneless pork belly, skin on, cut into 1cm-thick slices

2 tsp shichimi togarashi (see note) Steamed Japanese rice, mixed assorted Japanese pickles and purple baby shiso leaves, to serve

1 Place soy, sake, mirin, sugar, miso and wasabi in a small saucepan over high heat. Bring to the boil, reduce heat to low and simmer until combined (5 minutes). Remove from heat and cool completely.

2 Once cooled, place pork in a large bowl with marinade and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

3 Preheat a barbecue or char-grill pan to medium-high heat. Remove pork from marinade and cook, in batches if necessary, turning frequently and basting with marinade until charred and cooked (5 minutes). Rest before serving.

4 Divide rice among bowls and arrange pork on top. Scatter with shichimi togarashi, baby shiso, wasabi and serve with mixed pickled Japanese vegetables on the side.

Note Fresh wasabi and shichimi togarashi (a chilli spice blend) are available from Asian grocers. If fresh wasabl is unavailable, substitute 100gm wasabi paste.

HEART AND SOUL

Not a vegetable but rather a flower bud that rises on a thistle, the artichoke is a complex delight. Its rewards are hard won; first you must get past the armour of petals and remove the hairy choke. Those who step up are rewarded with sweet and savoury creaminess and the elusive flavour of spring. Many of the recipes here begin with the same Provençal braise. Others call on the nuttiness of artichokes in their raw form. The results make pasta lighter and chicken brighter or can be fried to become a vessel for bold flavours all of which capture the levity of the season.
