Ingredients

4 racks lamb breast (350gm-400gm each)

Miso marinade

700 ml lager

150 gm yellow miso paste (also called white or shiro miso)

100 gm caster (superfine) sugar

To serve: radishes, quartered, cucumber, quartered and cut into pieces, ginger and garlic

Method

Main

1.Preheat a combination oven with a steam function to 100°C and 100% steam. Place the ribs on steamer trays and cook for 2 hours. Remove from oven and leave to cool. You could also do this in a large stovetop steamer for the same amount of time.

2.With a sharp, heavy knife or a cleaver, slice between each rib so you get single, finger-friendly portions. Place these in a non-reactive dish.

3.For miso marinade, whisk the beer, miso paste and sugar in a large mixing bowl until combined, then pour mixture all over the lamb ribs and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate to marinate for 24 hours.

4.Preheat the oven to 200°C and place the marinated lamb ribs on lined baking trays. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until a golden crust forms over the ribs.

5.Serve immediately with some radish and cucumber and a little ginger and garlic microplaned over the top.
