The kind of Japanese plate you make on repeat. sake and butter, a proper braise, and a finish of fresh herbs.
Free to cook
Prep everything first: chop the aromatics, measure the sake and butter elements, and pat the black bean dry so it colours well.
Warm the olive oil in a large pan over a medium heat and soften the onion and garlic until sweet and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the black beans and braise until it takes on colour and the edges catch, 4 to 6 minutes.
Stir in the dashi stock and the rest of the sake and butter flavours, letting them cook out for a minute until fragrant.
Add the sweetcorn along with a splash of stock or water, then cover and cook gently until everything is tender and the sauce clings.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper and a little acid. It should taste bright, savoury and balanced.
Finish with the chopped scallion and serve while hot.
Tested in the Stewart & Musell kitchen. Timings assume a standard home oven and hob.
