King Oyster Scallops
The dish that made king oyster famous outside professional kitchens. Thick coins, scored and seared, glazed with soy and mirin — it plates like seafood and costs a fraction of the price.

Made with King Oyster
Soy glazeBrown butterRosemary
- 1Score a fine crosshatch into one face of each coin — this helps the glaze cling and mimics the texture of a scallop.
- 2Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Sear the coins scored-side down for 3–4 minutes until deeply golden.
- 3Flip, add butter, and cook the second side for 2–3 minutes.
- 4Add soy sauce, mirin and rice vinegar. Let it bubble and reduce into a glaze, spooning it over the coins for 1 minute.
- 5Plate with the glaze spooned over, scatter with chives.
Cut the coins at least 2 cm thick — thinner pieces lose the scallop-like bite that makes this dish work.
