Dynamite Mussels


  • Author: Jasmine and Tea

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 green mussels on the half shell
  • ¼ cup Japanese mayo (58g)
  • ½ tsp granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp sriracha
  • 2 tbsp freshly grated parmesan cheese (6g)
  • masago

Garnish: scallions and shichimi togarashi (Japanese red pepper flakes)


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F/180°C .
  2. Wash the mussels and pat dry.  I like to let it sit upside down on a paper towel while I prepare the sauce.
  3. Add the mayo, sugar, sriracha and parmesan cheese to a mixing bowl and stir until combined.  Taste it and add more ingredients if needed. 
  4. Set the mussels on a baking sheet and distribute the sauce evenly on top.  It should cover the mussel completely.  Then grate extra parmesan cheese on top of each mussel.
  5. Bake for about 18 to 20 minutes until the edges are brown and caramelized.  Carefully remove from the oven, making sure not to let the juices fall out. 
  6. Transfer to a serving plate and place a small amount of masago on each mussel.  Garnish with scallions and Japanese pepper flakes & enjoy!
