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.

Buttered Scallops Buttered Scallops

If you don't pat dry their excess moisture, they'll be watery and not nearly as delicious. Recipe by O mama ma -
