For the Oysters

For the Sauce
  • 1/2 cup Japanese Mayonnaise For regular mayo, increase lemon juice to balance flavor.

  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Lemon Juice Fresh juice is recommended for the best flavor.

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your broiler or BBQ to high heat, around 500°F (260°C). Allow about 10 minutes for the broiler to fully heat up.
  2. Prepare your oyster shells or ramekins on a baking sheet. Fill with coarse salt to stabilize the oysters.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine Japanese mayonnaise with miso paste, stirring until smooth. Blend in mirin, hot sauce, and lemon juice.
  4. Evenly distribute the fresh spinach among the oyster shells or ramekins.
  5. Carefully place the oysters on top of the spinach.
  6. Generously spoon about 1 tablespoon of the creamy miso mayo sauce over each oyster. Sprinkle cheese on top.
  7. Broil for 5–8 minutes, until the cheese is bubbling and golden brown.
  8. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
  9. Serve warm, alongside a crisp salad or crusty bread.
