About

Okra fares very well on the robata grill; pierce it a few times and marinate for a short time to add a wonderful flavour.

Method

Wash the okra in cold water and leave to drain in a colander. Combine the soy sauce, mirin and sake together in a bowl. Pierce each okra with a pointy knife; it just needs to be a small straight cut along the okra, no more than 5mm (⅕in.), to let out steam. Add to the bowl and leave the okra to marinate for 20 minutes.

Start the robata grill. Pl
