White miso
Mirin
Scallops
Scallions
Sesame seeds

Mix together a few tablespoons of miso and mirin so that you like the taste. Brush the mixture on scallops that you’ve either threaded onto a skewer to grill or placed on an oiled sheet pan to run under the broiler for a few minutes. They’ll cook fast and brown easily, aided by the sugar in the mirin. Top them with sliced scallions and some sesame seeds. Candy for dinner.
