Instructions

Prevent your screen from going dark as you follow along.

Step 1

Blitz the fermented shrimp butter ingredients with a hand-held (immersion) blender until smooth, then use straight away or transfer to an airtight container and chill until needed. This will keep for 2 weeks in the refrigerator.

Step 2

Blanch the cabbage for 2-3 minutes in a saucepan of boiling water. Shock in ice water and drain completely in a colander or large sieve.

Step 3

Place a griddle pan in the Gozney Dome and let it heat up. Lightly coat each side of the cabbage with a little melted butter and place in Dome at 460°C/850°F for 5 minutes.

Step 4

When the cut side of the cabbage is good and black, smear the shrimp butter over using the back of a spoon, encouraging it to occupy the gap between each leaf. Lee suggests using an ‘obscene amount’ but it's up to you.

Step 5

Place back into your Gozney outdoor oven until the butter has melted.

Step 6

Finish with a scattering of katsuobushi flakes and dried baby shrimp and serve immediately.
