Pork and miso sausage rolls

"First Sunday back home in Melbourne from Tokyo, I made sausage rolls for myself and the kids and their lunch for the coming week. It’s something we miss, and are excited about making. I add some miso to the mince as extra flavour, and lots of vegetables. It’s our kids’ favourite." – Meg Tanaka

Method

  • 1.
    Heat oil in a large frypan over medium heat. Cook onion, celery and carrot, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until soft. Transfer to a large bowl and stand for 10 minutes to cool.
  • 2.
    Add mince, breadcrumbs, 1 egg, miso, shio koji, ginger and shallot to cooled vegetable mixture. Season to taste and use your hands to thoroughly mix.
  • 3.
    Preheat oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced. Line 2 large baking trays with baking paper.
  • 4.
    Place pastry on benchtop and cut each sheet into 2 long rectangles. Divide filling into 4 portions and arrange each portion along 1 long edge in a log shape. Roll up to enclose filling. Cut each log into 4 segments (see notes) and place seam-side down on prepared trays. Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Score each roll several times with a sharp knife and bake for 30-35 minutes, until pastry is deep golden brown.
  • 5.
    Cool slightly on tray. Serve hot or warm with tomato sauce.

Recipe Notes

You can freeze the rolls at this stage to bake later. To bake from frozen, increase cooking time by 5 minutes. You can also cut them into shorter rolls to serve them as finger food. Shio koji is a Japanese seasoning and marinade made from fermented rice, salt, water and cultures.
