Ingredients
  

  • 2 heads radicchio quartered through the core
  • 2 tablespoons neutral oil
  • Kosher salt
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic grated
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water
  • Toasted sesame seeds for serving

Method
 

  1. Combine soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, ginger, and garlic in a saucepan. Simmer 2 minutes, whisk in cornstarch slurry, simmer 1 more minute until thickened.
  2. Heat neutral oil in a cast-iron skillet over high heat until shimmering.
  3. Season radicchio wedges with salt. Sear cut-side down for 3-4 minutes until dark and charred, then flip and sear the other side for 2-3 minutes.
  4. Check that outer leaves are charred while the core stays firm.
  5. Remove from heat and drizzle the warm teriyaki dressing over the charred wedges.
  6. Transfer to a platter and finish with sesame seeds and sliced green onion.
