Method

  1. Preheat Broiler/Grill:
    • Pre-heat your broiler/grill to 180 °C / 350 °F.
  2. Prepare Dynamite Sauce:
    • In a bowl, combine Kewpie mayonnaise and sriracha. Taste and adjust the spice level by adding more sriracha for heat or more Kewpie mayo for a milder flavor.
    • Add flying fish roe to the sauce and stir slowly to distribute evenly.
  3. Sauce the Mussels:
    • Place the half shell Greenshell mussels on a baking tray.
  4. Spoon the Dynamite Sauce:
    • Spoon the prepared Dynamite Sauce over each mussel, ensuring the meat is completely covered.
  5. Broil/Grill the Mussels:
    • Put the tray of mussels under the preheated broiler/grill.
    • Check frequently and rotate the tray occasionally to ensure even browning and compensate for hot spots.
  6. Cook Until Golden Brown:
    • Cook until the sauce bubbles and turns golden brown with a few dark spots forming. The total cooking time should not exceed 15 minutes.
  7. Serve Immediately:
    • Once the mussels are cooked, remove them from the broiler/grill.
    • Serve immediately while hot and bursting with flavor.

Tips:

  • Garnish with additional flying fish roe or chopped fresh herbs for an extra burst of color and texture.
  • Serve on a platter over a bed of ice for a stylish presentation at parties or gatherings.
  • Provide lime wedges on the side for those who enjoy a citrusy kick.
