Japanese Mochi Rice Cake Gratin

• 4 Mochi rice cakes (I used round mochi)
• 2 to 3 Wiener sausages
• 2 slice Melting type cheese
• 2 sheets Seasoned nori seaweed
• 1 Panko
• 5 tbsp Mayonnaise
• 3 tbsp Milk
• 2 tbsp Sake
• 1 tbsp Miso (I used awase miso)

1. Mix together all of the ingredients to make the mayonnaise-miso sauce.
2. Cut the mochi into easy to eat pieces and lay them in a gratin or shallow casserole dish.
3. If the mochi cakes are frozen, defrost naturally or thaw in the microwave, and then cut them up.
4. Microwave for 1 minute at 600 W to soften the mochi.
5. Lightly toast the wiener sausages in the toaster oven.
6. Once they have a nutty fragrance, cut into easy to eat pieces.
7. Place the wiener sausages in the gratin dish or casserole, and top with the mayonnaise-miso sauce.
8. Sprinkle on the melting cheese and cover completely with panko to make the surface crispy.
9. Bake for 5 minutes in the toaster oven at 1300 W. When it begins to lightly brown and bubble, it's finished.
10. Optionally scatter with flavored seaweed.
11. This is a main dish type gratin version, with chicken and white onion
