SEAFOOD TEPPANYAKI

Teppanyaki is a Japanese style of barbecue – ‘teppan’ being the Japanese word for an iron plate and ‘yaki’ meaning grilled. You can buy cast-iron teppanyaki pans (such as the one in our photo) online, or use a char-grill plate or barbecue. Teppanyaki is also a great way to entertain if you arrange a selection of seafood, meat and vegetables on a platter and cook at the table on a portable grill.

INGREDIENTS

1 Loligo Squid, cleaned
12 Saucer Scallops, off the shell, trimmed
1 x 150g piece Patagonian Toothfish fillet, skin off, bones removed
1 x 150g piece Salmon fillet, skin off, bones removed
3 shiitake, halved (see notes)
4 green onions, sliced into 5cm lengths
½ red capsicum, seeded and sliced
¼ cup vegetable oil
12 vongole, purged (see notes)
Steamed short-grain rice, for serving
Japanese sesame sauce, for serving (see notes)
Ponzu sauce, for serving (see notes)

METHOD

Make Ginger Dipping Sauce: combine all ingredients and set aside.

Cut Squid hoods down one side and open out flat. Score the inside of the flesh with angled cuts, turn the hoods around and repeat so that the cuts form a crosshatched pattern. Slice into bite-sized pieces. Cut fish into bite-sized pieces 

Heat a barbecue or char-grill plate.

Toss Squid, Scallops, fish, shiitake, green onion and capsicum with oil. Cook, in batches, first the vegetables then the seafood including the vongole, turning once, until lightly coloured and vongole open. 

Arrange on a platter and serve with steamed rice and sesame, ponzu and Ginger Dipping Sauces on the side.
