MISO-BROILED SCALLOPS



Miso-Broiled Scallops image

Miso, the traditional Japanese soybean paste, is one of those convenience foods whose complexity belies its ingredients: it contains only soybeans, salt and grain (usually rice or barley, though others are used too), inoculated with the Aspergillus orzyae bacteria and aged for up to three years. The production process is not unlike that for good hard cheese, and miso is frequently compared with Parmesan. It is equally complex, and both are known for the strong presence of umami, the Japanese word for the fifth taste (after salt, sour, sweet and bitter), roughly translated as ''deliciousness.'' Here, miso is combined with little more than scallops, then allowed to sit for a while before grilling or broiling. The combination and preparation are traditional, the equivalent of slathering something with barbecue sauce before cooking. Of course, miso is a far cry from barbecue sauce: its elegance is unmistakable.

MISO-BROILED SCALLOPS



Miso-Broiled Scallops image

This is so easy. The cooking time listed reflects 1/2 hour of marination time, but it can be as little as 15 minutes or as long as 24 hours. The recipe doesn't specify which kind of miso, I would assume it's white or yellow miso. This recipe comes from Mark Bittman's Best Recipes in the World. He says "it's a traditional dish, in some parts of Japan the home-cooking equivalent of slathering something with barbecue sauce before cooking. For ease of use and strict authenticity, the miso should be thinned with mirin - it's too thick to use straight. Mark talks about different types of mirin and suggests that hon-mirin is superior to aji-mirin, all good if you have access to a good Asian market!

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality scallops: Look for plump, opaque scallops with a sweet, briny smell. Avoid any that are slimy or have a strong odor.
  • Pat scallops dry before cooking: This will help them sear properly and prevent them from steaming.
  • Season scallops simply: Salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice are all you need to bring out their natural flavor.
  • Cook scallops quickly over high heat: This will prevent them from becoming tough and rubbery. Aim for a golden brown crust on the outside and a tender, translucent center.
  • Serve scallops immediately: They are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven or grill.
