Method
-
step 1
Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Halve the watermelon, then cut into ½cm- or 1cm-thick slices. Arrange the slices in a deep baking dish, slightly overlapping. Pour over the soy sauce, vinegar and oil, and toss to coat. Bake for 40 mins until the watermelon is soft, then leave to cool completely.
-
step 2
Mix the dipping sauce ingredients together, then tip into a small bowl. Once the watermelon has cooled, arrange on a serving plate, sprinkle over the sesame seeds and serve with the dipping sauce on the side.
