Oyster Motoyaki


This has got to be the easiest recipe ever! It's great for when you have guests over because it looks so complicated, but it only really takes 5 minutes of preparation!



Ingredients:

4 fresh large oysters
2 tablespoons of dark miso paste
1/2 cup japanese mayonnaise (I use Kewpie brand, see above)
3 tbsp chopped green onion
1 tablespoon of sugar
Method:
1. Preheat the oven to the broil setting
2. Shuck the oysters. Remove the top (the flat side) and loosen the oyster from its shell. If you're having trouble with this, it helps to throw the oysters in the oven for 5 minutes so the shells open up a little first.
3. In a bowl, whisk together the remaining ingredients.
4. Top the oysters with the mayonnaise mixture. Salt is not necessary because the mayo already has salt in it.
5. Put the oysters in the oven on a rack that is a little higher than the middle of the oven and bake for 6-8 minutes, or until the top of the mayonnaise is golden brown.
6. Serve immediately, because cold oysters will taste fishy and unfresh.
