Japanese Oyster Shooter

Japanese Oyster Shooter :D
Delicious Sushi in a glass!

Ingredients:
Quail egg
Oyster (shucked)
Lemon juice
Sriracha sauce
Soy sauce
Quality Saké
Tobiko
Green onion (chopped)
Sesame seeds

Directions:
Crack quail egg into a shot glass of your choosing, toss in oyster, squeezle a bit of lemon juice, Sriracha sauce, and a dollop of soy sauce. Pour in some quality Saké, top with Tobiko, chopped green onion, and sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve.

Feel free to subtract any ingredients, besides Saké, to make a refreshing treat. I do not suggest warm Saké in general unless it was made to be warmed(very rare) as it deadens the flavour of the delicious rice wine.

Enjoy!

Soya Deviled Eggs

Soya Deviled Egg Recipe

Ingredients:
-6 eggs
-3 cups water
-4 tbsp mayo
-1 tbsp soya
-1 tbsp mustard
-1 tbsp dried onion
-sesame seeds (optional)

1. Place eggs into pot and cover with cold water. Bring water to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes.
2. Remove eggs from pot and place in cold water to stop cooking. Peel eggs and cut in half.
3. Pop out egg yolks into a bowl without breaking egg whites.
4. Mash yolks and add mayo, soya, mustard, and dried onion.
5. Spoon egg yolk mixture into egg whites and sprinkle sesame seeds on top as a garnish.


I wanted to make tea eggs, but I did not have any Oolong tea, so I made these little tasty treats instead :D. The best eggs to use for hard-boiling are ones that are about a week old from the supermarket. Fresh eggs tend to have a greenish tinge to them when you peel the shells off, but they are okay to eat. You can put these in a nice little bento with onigiri or double the recipe and bring them to a spring/summer get-together.
