Method

  1. Heat oil in a frying pan and sear the scallops until browned on the surface. Sauté the shiitake mushrooms as well.
  2. Prepare the miso white sauce. Melt butter in a pot, add flour, and stir constantly to avoid burning. Gradually add warmed milk while whisking to achieve a smooth texture. Stir in white miso and adjust the consistency with sake.
  3. In a heatproof dish, spread a small amount of miso white sauce, then layer with scallops, shiitake mushrooms, and turnip wedges. Pour the remaining sauce on top, decorate with carrot pieces, and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
  4. Place in an oven toaster or grill and bake until the surface is golden brown.
