Houraisen Bessen

Ingredients

Bone-in Lamb Loin 4 pieces... Sprinkle with salt, let sit for about 15 minutes, and wipe off any moisture.
Shio Koji 1 1/2 tablespoons
Shishito Peppers 6 pieces... Pierce with a bamboo skewer in several places.
Rock Salt To taste
Coarsely Ground Black Pepper To taste
Shichimi Togarashi (Seven Spice Chili Powder) To taste

Procedure

  1. Coat the lamb with shio koji, wrap it tightly, and marinate in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
  2. Wipe off the koji, place the lamb on a heated fish grill, and cook both sides. (Be careful as the koji burns easily.)
  3. After about 10 minutes of grilling, rinse the lamb with sake (not listed in ingredients) and return to the grill, cooking until golden brown.
  4. Quickly grill the shishito peppers and sprinkle with salt.
  5. Arrange the lamb on a plate, garnish with shishito peppers, and serve with rock salt, black pepper, and shichimi togarashi.
