Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 red chilies
2 garlic cloves
½ inch chunk peeled ginger
2 tbsp fish sauce
1 lime
½ tsp brown sugar
Fresh cilantro (- see note 1)
12-16 sea scallops (- see note 2)
3 tbsp oil (- see note 3)
Pinch salt
1 tbsp butter

Steps:

  • Finely chop the chili.
  • Peel and finely slice the garlic
  • Cut the ginger into thin matchsticks
  • Zest the lime and then squeeze the juice out.
  • Set these all aside until needed (see note 4)
  • Use paper towels to pat the scallops dry. You want to ensure the scallops have no moisture on the surface.
  • Place a heavy-based frying pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add 3 tbsp of oil and let it heat until shimmering (at least 1 minute)
  • Season the scallops lightly with salt. Then carefully and quickly add the scallops to the frying pan.
  • Do them individually, starting at 12 o'clock and working around the outside of the pan.
  • Cook the scallops for 90 seconds on one side.
  • Turn the heat off under the pan and add 1 tbsp of butter.
  • Use tongs to gently turn each scallop over into the sizzling butter, again starting at 12 o'clock and working around in the same order you added the scallops.
  • Leave the scallops for 60 seconds, then remove the scallops from the pan and place them on a plate.
  • Put the prepared garlic, chili, and ginger into the frying pan and stir to cook in the hot oil and butter.
  • Pour in 2 tbsp fish sauce, the squeezed lime juice, and sprinkling over 1/2 tsp of brown sugar.
  • Once everything is bubbling (about 1 minute), pour over the scallops, and serve with fresh cilantro and a little lime zest.

SEARED SCALLOP THAI NOODLE SOUP



Seared Scallop Thai Noodle Soup image

We loved this! If you want it spicy, leave some of the seeds of the chiles in. The cabbage blends into this soup. Try whatever veggies you like in it. I like to eat the pieces of ginger and lemon grass, but some people might set them aside in their bowl. The lime leaves have a unique and delicious flavor, but if you can't find them, you could try making it with lime zest. If you don't like scallops, shrimp would probably be a good substitute. Based on a Ming Tsai recipe.

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/2 tablespoon ginger
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1/3 cup chili sauce
1/4 cup ketchup
1/2 cup brown sugar
3/4 teaspoon garlic salt
1/3 cup clam juice, as needed
1/2 cup vegetable oil, plus 2 more cups for frying noodles
24 dry scallops
2 teaspoons cornstarch
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
7 carrots, cut into thin sticks
1/4 cup sweet red pepper strips
1/4 cup broccoli florets
2 onions, finely chopped
1 pound rice noodles
Sliced lemons, for serving

Steps:

  • Into a bowl, mix together ginger, soy sauce, chili sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, garlic salt and 1/3 cup clam juice, until smooth. Reserve. Preheat a wok with 2 tablespoons of the oil. Coat scallops with cornstarch and add to the wok. Stir-fry scallops for approximately 1 minute and sprinkle with salt and pepper, to taste. Stir in reserved ginger mixture cook for 1 to 2 minutes more. Remove scallops from sauce arrange on a serving dish. Reserve the sauce separately.
  • Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in the wok and add the carrot sticks, sweet pepper strips, broccoli florets and chopped onions for 4 to 6 minutes or until brown. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Keep warm, in the wok.
  • In another wok or deep pan, deep-fry rice noodles in 2 cups hot oil, for 3 minutes. Drain noodles. Arrange noodles in a bowl or on a plate, top with cooked vegetables and finish with scallops. If desired, mix a little more clam juice to the sauce, before pouring over the scallops and noodles. Serve with lemon slices.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will make all the difference in the flavor of your dish. Look for plump, juicy scallops that are free of any off-smells. Use fresh vegetables and herbs, and choose a good quality fish sauce and oyster sauce.
  • Don't overcook the scallops: Scallops are delicate and cook quickly. Overcooking them will make them tough and rubbery. Cook them just until they are opaque and slightly firm to the touch.
  • Use a hot pan: A hot pan will help to sear the scallops and prevent them from sticking. Make sure the pan is hot before adding the scallops, and don't overcrowd the pan.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: Marinating the scallops in a flavorful mixture of soy sauce, fish sauce, oyster sauce, and garlic will help to enhance their flavor. You can also add other ingredients to the marinade, such as ginger, lemongrass, or chili peppers.
  • Serve the scallops immediately: Scallops are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will help to prevent them from drying out.

Conclusion:

Thai scallops and noodles is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and healthy meal. By following the tips above, you can make sure that your scallops are cooked perfectly and that your dish is packed with flavor.
