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.

  • Pat the scallops dry before cooking. This will help them to sear properly and prevent them from steaming.
  • Season the scallops liberally with salt and pepper. This will help to enhance their natural flavor.
  • Sear the scallops in a hot skillet for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Be careful not to overcook them, or they will become tough.
  • Serve the scallops immediately with your favorite sides. Some popular options include risotto, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.
