Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mussels

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Clean the mussels thoroughly under cold water, scrubbing the shells to remove any debris. Discard any mussels that do not close when tapped.

  2. 2

    Make the Sauce

    In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, masago, and Nakato hot sauce. Stir until well combined.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Mussels

    Place the cleaned mussels on a baking sheet, open side up. Spoon the masago and mayonnaise mixture generously onto each mussel.

  4. 4

    Bake

    Sprinkle sesame seeds over the mussels and place them in the preheated oven. Bake for about 12-15 minutes or until the sauce is bubbly and the mussels are cooked through.

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove the mussels from the oven and let them cool slightly. Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
