Method

Hayato Menu

  1. 1

    Glaze prep

    Whisk together soy sauce, mirin, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, sesame oil, and black pepper in a small bowl until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is fragrant.

  2. 2

    Prepare onion

    Peel the Maui onion. Cut into thick rings or wedges about 3/4 inch (2 cm) thick, keeping the root end intact to hold layers together.

  3. 3

    Preheat and oil

    Preheat a grill to medium heat (about 350-400°F / 175-205°C). Lightly brush the onion surfaces with neutral oil to prevent sticking.

  4. 4

    Grill onion

    Place the onion slices on the grill. Cook 4-5 minutes per side, rotating as needed to develop char and tenderness. Baste with the glaze during cooking.

  5. 5

    Finish glaze

    During the last minute of grilling, brush on any remaining glaze and allow it to caramelize into a shiny coating.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove from the grill, let rest 1-2 minutes, then sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve warm as a side dish or an accent to a main course.
