Directions

  1. 1Bring a large pot of water to boil. Gently drop the leeks into the water for 5 minutes. Remove and let cool to room temp.
  2. 2Use a sharp knife to cut along the seem. This will allow you to remove the outer layers one by one. Rinse each gently under water. Set aside to let dry. If the center is too raw, return to simmering water to let cook for 1 minute then continue to peel.
  3. 3To a large bowl, add the shrimp, garlic, chili crisp, ginger, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Mix well.
  4. 4Place 1 1/2 tbsp of the shrimp mixture at the end of a leek "wrapper" and fold as shown.
  5. 5Place the wraps in a 8 1/2 x 11 baking dish
  6. 6To a blender add: miso paste, mirin, sesame oil, melted butter soy sauce and chicken broth. Blend on low for 30 seconds.
