SOBA WITH GRILLED ASPARAGUS AND SEA SCALLOPS WITH SWEET MISO SAUCE



Soba with Grilled Asparagus and Sea Scallops with Sweet Miso Sauce image

During the summer you can grill the asparagus outdoors. The smoky flavor of a wood charcoal fire adds complexity to this substantial meal. While I call for green asparagus, try making the dish with a colorful array of asparagus-green, white, and purple. White miso, which is called _shiro-miso_ in Japanese can be found in health food stores. Smooth rather than grainy miso is preferable for this recipe.

Provided by Corinne Trang

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons sugar
1/4 cup sake
3 tablespoons mirin
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1/3 cup white miso
1 tablespoon finely grated ginger
1/4 cup vegetable oil
10 ounces dried soba noodles
36 medium asparagus spears, coarse woody ends snapped or cut off
18 sea scallops
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
12 walnut halves, lightly toasted and coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • In a bowl, whisk together the sugar, sake, mirin, and rice vinegar until the sugar is completely dissolved. Add the white miso, ginger, and 1 tablespoon of the oil and whisk until well combined. Set the miso glaze aside.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat and cook the noodles until tender yet firm, about 3 minutes. Drain, shock under cold running water, and drain again.
  • Heat a well-oiled grill pan over medium heat. Brush the asparagus and scallops with all or most of the remaining 3 tablespoons of oil and season with salt and pepper to taste. Grill the asparagus first until just tender, 3 to 5 minutes total, rolling them about to heat them evenly all around. Divide and top each noodle serving with asparagus. Grill the scallops in the same pan until cooked through and crisp on each side, about 2 minutes per side. Divide the scallops among the servings of noodles, and spoon some miso glaze over each. Serve garnished with toasted walnuts.

SOBA SALAD WITH MISO DRESSING



Soba Salad With Miso Dressing image

Superfast veggie dinner or side dish. Courtesy of Mark Bittman, the Minimalist, from the October 1 2009 NY Times. He's not sure whether to call this a warm salad or a room-temperature noodle dish. I love edamame beans, and buying them frozen is fine for this dish. Pick up a bag of pre-washed spinach for this too. Tossing the spinach with the warm noodles and veggies should wilt the spinach, or stir fry them together in a little water to wilt a bit more. Soba noodles are a staple of Japan. They have a slightly firm texture and nutty flavor.
