Salad
4 ounces bean thread noodles (cellophane noodles)*
4 ounces snow peas, thinly sliced on diagonal (about 1 1/3 cups)
1 cup bean sprouts
1 cup matchstick-size strips seeded peeled cucumber
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 cup chopped roasted salted peanuts
2 tablespoons finely shredded carrot
1/3 cup water
1/4 cup Thai fish sauce (nam pla)*
3 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon minced serrano chili
1 teaspoon chili-garlic sauce*
Scallops
1 pound sea scallops
1/2 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 shallots, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon finely chopped lemongrass*

Steps:

  • For salad:
  • Pull noodles apart; place in large bowl. Pour enough boiling water over to cover generously. Soak noodles until tender, stirring occasionally, about 1 hour. Drain; return to same bowl. Cut noodles in half (or in thirds if very long).
  • Add snow peas, bean sprouts, cucumber, herbs, peanuts, and carrot to noodles and toss to blend. Combine 1/3 cup water and all remaining ingredients in small bowl; whisk to blend. Season dressing to taste with salt and pepper. Stir dressing into noodle mixture. Let stand 15 minutes, tossing occasionally.
  • For scallops:
  • Sprinkle scallops with sugar, salt, and pepper. Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shallots, lemongrass, and garlic; stir 1 minute. Add scallops; sauté until just opaque in center, about 3 minutes.
  • Divide salad among 4 plates; top with scallops and serve.
  • Available at Asian markets and in the produce section and/or Asian foods section of some supermarkets.
