Categories easy, quick, salads and dressings, soups and stews

Time 12m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

3 to 4 cloves garlic, peeled, crushed and chopped (2 teaspoons)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons Dijon-style mustard
1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
3 tablespoons canola oil
1 firm head Napa cabbage (about 1 pound)

Steps:

Put the garlic in a large salad bowl and mix in all the remaining ingredients except the cabbage.
Trim the cabbage, removing and discarding damaged or wilted leaves, and cut the head crosswise into 1-inch slices. You should have about 8 cups. Wash well and spin dry in a salad dryer (moisture would dilute the dressing). Ten or 15 minutes before serving, add the cabbage to the dressing, toss well and set aside, so the dressing can penetrate the cabbage and soften it slightly.

Tips:

Use fresh sea scallops for the best flavor and texture. Frozen scallops can be used, but they will not be as good as fresh scallops.
Make sure to pat the scallops dry before cooking them. This will help them to sear properly and prevent them from steaming.
Season the scallops generously with salt and pepper. This will help to enhance their flavor.
Cook the scallops over medium-high heat. This will help them to sear quickly and evenly.
Do not overcrowd the scallops in the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
Cook the scallops for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through. Overcooking will make them tough and chewy.
Serve the scallops immediately with the wilted napa cabbage slaw.

Conclusion:

This recipe for glazed sea scallops with wilted napa cabbage slaw is a delicious and easy-to-make seafood dish. The scallops are seared until golden brown and then glazed with a sweet and tangy sauce. The napa cabbage slaw is a light and refreshing side dish that perfectly complements the scallops. This dish is sure to impress your guests at your next dinner party.
