Equipment

  • baking tray
  • oven

Ingredients

  • 2 dozen frozen mussels on the half shell
  • 1 cup Kewpie mayonnaise
  • 2 tsp Sriracha
  • 2 tsp soy sauce
  • 2 tsp lemon juice
  • 4 tbsp masago smelt roe
  • 2 Stalk scallions only the green part

Instructions

  • Rinse and roughly chop the mussels, then combine with Kewpie, sriracha, soy sauce, lemon juice, half of the masago and scallions in a bowl.
  • Place the mixture back into the shells and line a baking tray with foil before putting them on it.
  • Broil at 450 degrees for around 10minutes until the top of each mussel is golden.
  • Serve and garnish with the remaining masago and scallions.

Notes

• If you are using fresh mussels, make sure to scrub them clean before preparing the dish.
• For an extra kick of flavor, you can add a tablespoon of sesame oil to the sauce.
• To get perfectly cooked mussels, time is key. Keep an eye on the mussels and take them out of the oven when they turn golden brown.
• Make sure to use the highest quality ingredients for best results.
• For a different twist, try using Italian-style bread crumbs instead of masago.
• If you are looking for a healthier alternative, substitute Kewpie mayonnaise with Greek yogurt or sour cream.
