Chuka hotate, also known as seasoned scallops, is a popular Japanese dish made from fresh scallops that are marinated in a mixture of soy sauce, rice vinegar, mirin, sugar, and other seasonings. The scallops are typically cooked briefly before being marinated to give them a tender and juicy texture. Chuka hotate has a savory and slightly sweet taste, with a delicate seafood flavor that is enhanced by the marinade. It is often served as an appetizer or side dish in Japanese restaurants and is a popular addition to bento boxes. Chuka hotate is low in calories and fat and is a good source of protein, vitamin B12, and omega-3 fatty acids. It can be found in the refrigerated section of Japanese grocery stores and is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy scallops.
