In this instalment, founder of Freak Scene, Scott Hallsworth shares his must-have ingredients, and how to make perfectly crispy sweetcorn tempura… Glen Burrows The chef: Scott Hallsworth, founder of Freak Scene The story: Previously Head Chef at Nobu and founder of Kurobuta, Scott opened Freak Scene in March 2018 following its success as a pop up in Clerkenwell last year. Freak Scene takes inspiration from bustling Singaporean hawker centres with a South East Asian-inspired menu. The philosophy: ‘Mixing up the London food scene with ‘Curious Asian Plates’, and of course, sake-bombs!’ The plan: ‘I’m keen to bring something similar from Frith St to the festival scene.’ The can’t-live-without ingredient: ‘I couldn’t live without Japanese soy sauce.

It’s such a versatile seasoning and adds umami [savoury flavour] to anything. It can be used in a marinade or in a stir fry… It has so many purposes, that’s why it’s an essential.’ Easy way to impress: ‘A good cheat ingredient is kombu, a giant kelp that grows in ocean, in the north of Japan. It’s packed with umami and has been around for centuries; Japanese chemist, Professor Ikeda, first isolated the properties that it contains to provide its umami taste in 1907.

It gives everything a quick boost, whether it’s in a marinade or a soup. It’s really easy to get hold of on the internet.’ How to perk up a lunchbox: ‘Nori, the Japanese seaweed, is a great substitute for wraps. You can fill a couple of sheets of nori with anything – sticky rice, avocado, or vegetables – and it makes a savoury, crispy wrap that’s ideal for an alternative lunch on the go.’ Why we love Scott: He makes food fun – and photogenic – as well as delicious.

Freak Scene has a really upbeat vibe (with super-friendly staff – seats are at the counter by the open kitchen so you can watch the chefs work their magic.) We loved the fresh mix of flavours in the colourful and eye-catching dishes – favourites include the miso frilled black cod tacos and the perfectly cooked scallops. A brilliant addition to the buzzy Soho restaurant scene. The recipe Sweetcorn tempura Serves 4
FOR THE BATTER
150g tempura flour
25g potato starch (corn starch would do)
260ml ice cold water
1 egg yolk
You will need a small deep fryer or pan of oil that safely holds about 1-1.5 litres of oil, such as rapeseed.

Whisk until combined. Don’t over whisk or the batter will lose its crunchy appeal – a few small lumps in tempura batter is perfectly acceptable. Keep refrigerated until required.

Using a tablespoon, scoop up a full spoons worth of mixture and drop into the hot oil. Do 5 or 6 of these at a time. The tempura nuggets will start to look golden and float when they’re ready – about 3-4 min is all it takes.

Repeat until all of the mixture is used up. (Alternatively, the mixture will hold well if kept refrigerated but not for more than a day.)
Drain the tempura well on absorbent paper then serve immediately in individual bowls atop a lettuce or Napa cabbage leaf. Top with plenty of sliced red onion, chilli rounds and coriander.
