    • Total time: 15 minutes, plus overnight soaking

    Serves: 6-8

    Ingredients

    600g cherry tomatoes (at room temperature)
    25g pack mint
    2 green apples

    SUNOMONO BRINE

    5g dried shiitake mushrooms
    100ml rice vinegar
    7g salt
    50ml mirin

    Method

    1. Make the sunomono brine the day before. Soak the dried shiitake in 150ml cold water for 6-8 hours (or overnight). Take the shiitake out (save them to use in a soup or salad) and mix the vinegar, salt and mirin into the soaking liquid.

    2. Cut the tomatoes in half and sit them in a shallow bowl. Pick the mint leaves and tear them with your hands, then scatter over the tomatoes. Halve, core, then thinly slice the apples and sit on top of the mint. Pour over the sunomono brine, and serve immediately
