Miso Scallops

Miso Scallops are a tasty seafood dish that has umami flavors from the miso paste, soy sauce, and mirin. The marinade gives the scallops more flavor and keeps them soft and juicy.

Ingredients:

• 12 large scallops
• 3 tablespoons white miso paste
• 2 tablespoons mirin
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon grated ginger
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• Sesame seeds, for garnish
• Chopped green onions, for garnish

Instructions:

To make the marinade, mix miso paste, mirin, soy sauce, honey, garlic, and ginger in a bowl with a whisk

Use paper towels to dry the scallops, then put them in a shallow dish or a plastic bag that can be closed again

Make sure the scallops are well covered with the marinade by pouring it over them

Put it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes and up to two hours with the lid on

Warm up the vegetable oil and sesame oil in a big pan over medium-high heat

Take the scallops out of the marinade and shake off the extra

Keep the marinade for later

Place the scallops in the pan and cook them for two to three minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and fully cooked

Add the marinade that you saved to the pan and let it simmer for one to two minutes, until it gets a little thicker

Put chopped green onions and sesame seeds on top of the hot scallops to serve

Have fun!
