Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 8 large scallops, fresh and sushi-grade
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons mirin
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 green onion, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon wasabi paste
Instructions
- Begin by preparing the scallops. Rinse them under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Using a sharp knife, carefully slice each scallop horizontally into thin, even slices. Arrange the slices on a serving platter.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons mirin, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, and 1 teaspoon sesame oil to create the dipping sauce.
- Drizzle the dipping sauce over the scallop slices, ensuring each piece is lightly coated. Sprinkle with thinly sliced green onions and sesame seeds for garnish.
- In a separate small bowl, mix 1/2 teaspoon of wasabi paste with a small amount of water to create a smooth paste. Serve the scallop sashimi with the wasabi paste on the side for those who enjoy a bit of heat.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the delicate flavors of the fresh scallops.
