Directions
- In a bowl combine the miso paste with mirin and sake. Mix well to combine.
- Skewer ingredients on pre-soaked skewers (this stops them burning) and brush the miso mixture all over.
- Preheat the grill or barbeque to 220C.
- Place the skewers on the oiled grill plate.
- Grill for 7-10 minutes, turning often, until cooked and golden. Monitor them as they grill, the tomatoes may be done sooner.
- Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve with a cold beer.
