Chef's Tips

Adjust the amount of sugar to your liking, depending on the sweetness of the yuzu juice.

For a smoother sorbet, consider using an ice cream maker. If not, the frequent stirring method is crucial.

Serve the sorbet slightly softened for best texture.

Garnish with a sprig of mint or a candied ginger slice for a more elegant presentation.

If you can't find yuzu juice, you can substitute it with a mix of lemon and grapefruit juice.

"The simple, clean flavors of edamame provide a refreshing counterpoint to the richer stir-fry. The salty and slightly nutty notes enhance the sesame and soy sauce elements in the main course without overpowering the palate, preparing it for the courgette dish."
