Motoyaki
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 Japan
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".
