Japanese Miso Butter Scallops image

Cooking scallops 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 school in Kyoto (HARU Cooking Class) and I meet many people from overseas who have told me this.

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon miso paste
1 tablespoon sake

1 tablespoon oil
½ pound sea scallops

Steps:

  • Combine miso paste, sake, soy sauce, and sugar in a small bowl.
