Scallops cooking, the Japanese way with sweet miso!

I wanted to share this recipe, because people who buy miso end up using just a little bit and storing the rest in the fridge, not knowing what else you can do with it. I run a cooking class and I meet many people from overseas who told me this.

Ingredients

10 mins
2 servings
  1. 200 gramsScallops
  2. 1 tablespoonMiso
  3. 1 tablespoonSake
  4. 1 teaspoonSoy sauce
  5. 1 teaspoonSugar
  6. Butter 15 grams or more

Cooking Instructions

10 mins
  1. 1

    First, let’s make the sauce. Combine MISO, SAKE(white wine is okay), SOY SAUCE, SUGAR in a small bowl.

  2. 2

    Grill scallops in a frying pan. If you use raw medium size scallops, you want to use a bit of oil and cook one side for 3-4 minutes in medium heat. Then turn them, cook for another 1 minute.

  3. 3

    If you have big scallops and are not sure if they are thoroughly cooked, pick the biggest one and cut it in half to check.

  4. 4

    Then turn the heat to low, cool down the pan a bit and add the sauce. You are not looking for a caramelization. Thin down the sauce with water if necessary.

  5. 5

    You may also cook scallops with just butter & soy sauce or butter & miso. If you use them both, in case your wife or girlfriend or children don’t like miso, you can just tell them it’s cooked in soy sauce.
