About Kaiyaki Miso
Japan’s agriculture ministry shares this Aomori food-culture guidebook recipe for kaiyaki miso, a dish associated with the Tsugaru and Shimokita regions. A large scallop shell serves as its cooking vessel, holding a fish broth with red miso.
Bonito flakes and grilled dried fish give the broth its savoury character. Fu, a wheat-gluten food, joins the miso mixture, while beaten egg and green onion complete this particular rendition.
The egg sets around the fu within the shell. The ministry describes a home serving with hot rice, included here as an optional accompaniment; this recipe’s ingredient list supplies no edible scallop meat.
