Mary Berry fried miso prawns with coriander recipe

In episode two of Mary Berry: Love to Cook on BBC Two, the famous cook also makes prawns fried in white miso paste and served with coriander.

This recipe for prawns stir-fried in a miso marinade from Mary Berry couldn’t be easier to make and serves up some serious flavour.

Japanese miso gives these prawns a wonderful flavour.

Again, the recipe is available on Happy Foodie and will appear on the BBC Food website after the show airs.

Mary also makes roasted duck legs with white miso – an ingredient she admits she’s become obsessed with!

Nordic loaf – Mary Berry: Love to Cook episode two on BBC Two

In the second of six episodes, Mary proves that you are never too old to try new things.

In her search for new tastes and flavours, she experiences mochi – sticky Japanese sweet rice cakes.

She also shares four recipes that are new to her repertoire, including a Nordic seeded loaf rich with fruit and honey.

Among the recipes she cooks are prawns fried in white miso paste, and roasted duck.

Mary experiments with her new favourite ingredient – fermented soya bean, better known to some as white miso paste.

She also gives a delicious twist to a much loved classic.

Finally, the cookery matriarch goes out and about around the country to meet food heroes and innovators.

She gamely tries jack fruit, tofu “scrambled eggs” (which remind her of wartime powdered egg), Japanese mochi and some Nigerian cuisine.
