SCALLOP SAUTE WITH CREAMY MISO SAUCE



Scallop Saute With Creamy Miso Sauce image

The original recipe comes from Harumi Kurihara. Using the scallops normally available in the US, I had some problems with amount of sauce in her original recipe and I altered to work better for me. The idea of combining hot food over chilled lettuce may sound unusual, but not so strange when you consider we have salads with grilled salmon or chicken on top in the US. You only need enough shredded lettuce to line the plate. If you do not have mirin, use sake or sherry.

JAPANESE MISO BUTTER SCALLOPS



Japanese Miso Butter Scallops image

Cooking scallops the Japanese way with sweet miso! I wanted to share this recipe, because people who buy miso end up using just a little bit and storing the rest in the fridge, not knowing what else you can do with it. I run a cooking school in Kyoto (HARU Cooking Class) and I meet many people from overseas who have told me this.

1 tablespoon miso paste
1 tablespoon sake
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon white sugar

MISO-GLAZED GRILLED SCALLOPS



Miso-Glazed Grilled Scallops image

This simple and sophisticated treatment is perfect for grilled scallops, but also works well on chicken or pork. One note on preparation: Err on the side of undercooking. Take the scallops off the grill before they're opaque all the way through. If you undercook a scallop, it will still be delicious, but if you overcook it, it will get rubbery.

Time 15m

Yield Varies

Number Of Ingredients 6

Vegetable oil, for brushing
2 tablespoons miso
2 tablespoons mirin or sake
Freshly ground pepper
Large scallops
Sesame seeds and sliced scallions, for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat a charcoal or gas grill until very hot. Brush the grill with a little oil and position the grill grate 3 to 4 inches from the heat.
  • Whisk together the miso and mirin or sake; season to taste with pepper.
  • Thread the scallops through their equators onto metal or soaked wooden skewers and brush them all over with vegetable oil. Grill scallops until they're browned and release easily from the grill, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
  • When they're almost done, brush on both sides with the miso mixture, and continue to cook, turning once or twice, until the glaze caramelizes a bit and the scallops are done. Take the scallops off the grill before the interior becomes totally opaque.
  • Sprinkle with sesame seeds and scallions and serve immediately.

MISO-BROILED SCALLOPS



Miso-Broiled Scallops image

Miso, the traditional Japanese soybean paste, is one of those convenience foods whose complexity belies its ingredients: it contains only soybeans, salt and grain (usually rice or barley, though others are used too), inoculated with the Aspergillus orzyae bacteria and aged for up to three years. The production process is not unlike that for good hard cheese, and miso is frequently compared with Parmesan. It is equally complex, and both are known for the strong presence of umami, the Japanese word for the fifth taste (after salt, sour, sweet and bitter), roughly translated as ''deliciousness.'' Here, miso is combined with little more than scallops, then allowed to sit for a while before grilling or broiling. The combination and preparation are traditional, the equivalent of slathering something with barbecue sauce before cooking. Of course, miso is a far cry from barbecue sauce: its elegance is unmistakable.

1/2 cup minced onion
Salt and cayenne pepper

Yield Makes 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon yellow miso (fermented soybean paste)
1 tablespoon seasoned rice vinegar
1 tablespoon mirin (sweet Japanese rice wine)
1/4 teaspoon grated peeled fresh ginger
2 teaspoons vegetable oil, divided
1/2 teaspoon Asian sesame oil, divided
2 baby bok choy, quartered lengthwise
10 large sea scallops, side muscle removed, patted dry

Steps:

  • Thinly sliced green onion tops Whisk first 4 ingredients and 1 tablespoon water in small bowl to blend. Set sauce aside.
  • Heat 1 teaspoon vegetable oil and 1/4 teaspoon sesame oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add bok choy; cook until wilted and brown in spots, turning often with tongs, about 3 minutes. Divide bok choy between 2 plates. Add remaining 1 teaspoon vegetable oil and 1/4 teaspoon sesame oil to same skillet. Sprinkle scallops with pepper; add to skillet. Sear scallops until brown and just opaque in center, about 1 1/2 minutes per side. Remove pan from heat. Place scallops between bok choy. Add miso sauce to skillet; stir just until warm, about 3 seconds (if too thick, add more water by teaspoonfuls). Drizzle sauce over scallops and bok choy. Sprinkle with green onions.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality scallops. Look for scallops that are plump and have a slightly sweet smell. Avoid scallops that are slimy or have an off odor.
  • Cook the scallops properly. Scallops are best cooked quickly over high heat. This will help them retain their delicate flavor and texture.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. When cooking scallops, it is important to not overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Use a good quality miso paste. The miso paste is a key ingredient in this dish, so it is important to use a good quality paste. Look for a paste that is made from soybeans, rice, and salt.
  • Serve the scallops immediately. Scallops are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will help them retain their flavor and texture.

Conclusion:

Scallops are a delicious and versatile seafood that can be cooked in a variety of ways. The scallop saut with miso sauce is a simple and flavorful dish that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. With its delicate flavor and tender texture, scallops are a great choice for a special occasion dinner. So next time you are looking for a new seafood recipe, give this scallop saut with miso sauce a try. You won't be disappointed!
