Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Garlic

    Peel the garlic cloves and lightly crush them. In a small pan, combine the garlic with sugar and a tablespoon of water. Cook over low heat until the garlic is golden and candied. Remove from heat and set aside.

  2. 2

    Char the Negi

    Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cut the negi into long sections and char them on the grill until they are nicely browned and tender. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Yellowtail

    Season the yellowtail fillet with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of sesame oil. Grill the yellowtail for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and slightly charred.

Assembly

  1. 4
