Instructions

1. 1

   Peel 2 ripe plantains and cut each into 1-inch thick rounds.

2. 2

   Soak 8 wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning, then thread 4-5 plantain rounds onto each skewer.

3. 3

   Combine 4 tablespoons red miso paste, 2 tablespoons mirin, 1 tablespoon sake, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon sesame oil in a small bowl to create the miso glaze.

4. 4

   Preheat a charcoal grill to medium-high heat, ensuring the coals are glowing with a light layer of ash.

5. 5

   Grill the plantain skewers for 3-4 minutes per side until softened and lightly charred, then brush generously with the miso glaze during the last minute of cooking, turning to coat evenly.

6. 6

   Remove the glazed plantain skewers from the grill, arrange on a serving platter, and garnish with 2 thinly sliced green onions and 1 teaspoon white sesame seeds before serving warm.
