Directions
- Make the dressing: In a blender, purée the miso, katsuo, rice vinegar, usukuchi, garlic paste, and egg yolks until smooth. With the motor running, slowly drizzle in the oil until smooth. Transfer to a bowl and whisk in the sour cream. Keep refrigerated until ready to use.
- Make the salad: Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Season the shrimp and scallops with salt and pepper and cook, along with the garlic, flipping the seafood once, until cooked and golden, about 1 1/2 minutes.
- Bring a saucepan of water to a simmer. Crack the eggs into the water and poach for about 2 1/2 minutes. Remove using a slotted spoon and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
- In a large bowl, gently toss the lettuce leaves with some of the dressing, the shrimp and scallops, the tomatoes, avocado, cucumber, radish, salt, and pepper. Divide between 4 plates and top each plate with a poached egg. Garnish with the parmesan cheese and bonito flakes to serve.
