Motoyaki is a style of cooking, involving baked food topped with a mayonnaise-based sauce and served in an oyster shell. [1] It is typically available in Japanese restaurants on the Pacific coast of Canada. [2] Examples of motoyaki dishes are oyster motoyaki [1] and lobster motoyaki. [3]
In Japanese cuisine, a sauce called tamagonomoto (卵の素, literally:basis of egg) [4] [A] (or tamagonomoto (玉子の素) [5] / tamamoto (玉素) [6]) is prepared by beating egg yolks and oil together just like mayonnaise, but without any vinegar. [4] Some variants also have miso [7] or soy sauce [6] added. Foods topped with this sauce and baked are moto-yaki (もと焼き) [7] [B] (or tamamoto-yaki (玉素焼き, literally:tamamotoed-and-baked) [8] / moto-yaki (素焼き) [6] [C]). Although motoyaki is considered a traditional Japanese dish, [6] the names motoyaki, tamagonomoto, and alike are not well known in Japan as of 2021 [update], while its variant using mayonnaise: mayonēzu-yaki (マヨネーズ焼き) (or mayo-yaki (マヨ焼き)) is far more popular. [9]
Canadian motoyaki is similar to Japanese mayonēzuyaki in using mayonnaise, unlike Japanese "motoyaki".
(rough translation) Ingredients of tamagonomoto: 2 egg yolks; 1 tbsp miso; 1 tbsp sugar; salt; pepper
