Braised Magnolia Flower Buds

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Whisk the miso in with the hot water until it has thoroughly dissolved.
  2. Heat the olive oil, add the magnolia buds and very gently, fry for 1 minute. They will start to open and bubble.
  3. Add enough of the miso stock to be half-way up the buds. Simmer very gently for 2 minutes.
  4. Using some cooking tongs, delicately take the magnolia buds out and place on kitchen paper to drain.
  5. Put the braised magnolia flower buds on a raw magnolia flower petal.
  6. Simmer the miso stock until it has reduced and become relatively thick. Pour over the braised magnolia flower buds. Serve.
Serves: 2 as a starter
