STIR FRY NOODLES WITH SEARED SCALLOPS SERVES 4 RECIPE - (4/5)



Stir Fry Noodles with Seared Scallops Serves 4 Recipe - (4/5) image

Provided by raffterman

Number Of Ingredients 21

Noodles:
3 tbsp. fish sauce
3 tbsp. soy sauce
2 tbsp. chicken stock
1 tbsp. fresh lime juice
1 tbsp. mirin
1 1/2 tsp. rice vinegar
1 1/2 tbsp. sugar
8 ounces dried rice vermicelli, soaked in cold water for 30 minutes
2 tbsp. canola oil
3 shallots, diced
1 tbsp. finely chopped garlic
1 tbsp. finely chopped peeled fresh ginger
1 lb. oyster mushrooms, halved if large
2 carrots, peeled and julienned
2 green onions, thinly sliced
Scallops:
16 large sea scallops
kosher salt
2 tbsp. chili oil
fresh cilantro sprigs, for garnish

Steps:

  • To prepare for the noodles, whisk the fish sauce, soy sauce, chicken stock, lime juice, mirin, vinegar and sugar in a small bowl until the sugar dissolves. Set aside. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Prepare a large bowl of ice water. Drain the noodles from their soaking water. Add the noodles to the boiling water, and cook for just 10 seconds. Quickly drain the noodles, and then place them in the ice water to cool completely. Drain well. To cook the scallops, season the scallops with salt. Heat a heavy large sauté pan over high heat. Add the chili oil, and swirl to coat the pan. Then add the scallops and cook just until dark brown, about 2 minutes per side. To stir-fry the noodles, heat a heavy large wok over medium-high heat. Add the oil, and then stir in the shallots, garlic and ginger. Cook until fragrant and the shallots begin to soften, about 1 minute. Add the mushrooms and carrots, and stir-fry until they soften slightly, about 5 minutes. Stir in the noodles and sauce, and stir-fry to coat, about 30 seconds. Stir in the green onions. Divide the noodles among four wide bowls. Top with the scallops, and then garnish with the cilantro. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality scallops: Fresh, dry scallops are essential for the best results. Avoid scallops that are slimy or have an off odor.
  • Sear the scallops properly: Searing the scallops in a hot pan with a little oil creates a delicious crust and helps lock in their natural juices. Be sure to sear them for only 1-2 minutes per side, or they will become tough.
  • Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what really brings the stir-fry together. Use a combination of soy sauce, rice vinegar, oyster sauce, and sesame oil for a classic Asian flavor. You can also add other ingredients, such as ginger, garlic, or chili peppers, to taste.
  • Cook the vegetables quickly: Vegetables should be cooked quickly in a stir-fry so that they remain crisp and tender. Use a high heat and stir constantly to prevent them from overcooking.
  • Serve immediately: Stir-fry is a dish that is best served immediately. The scallops and vegetables will be at their best when they are hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Stir-fry scallops is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of practice, you can create a restaurant-quality stir-fry at home. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful meal, give stir-fry scallops a try.
