THAI-STYLE SCALLOPS AND ASPARAGUS



Thai-Style Scallops and Asparagus image

Asian restaurants should pay more attention to dry Vouvrays. Like rieslings, which are frequently poured with Thai, Vietnamese and Chinese dishes, Vouvrays knit bright acidity into their alluring canvas of citric and floral aromas and flavors, sometimes kissed with spice or sugar. They are ready for action the minute the fragrances of ginger, coriander and lemon grass waft from the kitchen.This recipe follows the template for many Thai dishes: it starts with a curry paste that is heated and becomes the foundation for a stir-fry. The dish does require some shopping, though most of the ingredients have become mainstream. Asparagus cues the season.

SAUTéED SCALLOPS



Sautéed Scallops image

Sea scallops and bay scallops differ in size and sweetness. They also cook a little differently. I love a good hard sear on a sea scallop, a little crust, and a splash of wine in the butter at the end to provide a silky acidity against the sweet of the meat. For the tiny, sweet bay scallop, though, I prefer a gentle butter bath. Whichever you cook, be very careful not to overcook. Indeed, there is almost no such thing as an undercooked scallop.

Categories     seafood, main course

Time 10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 pound sea scallops, patted dry
Kosher salt, to taste
1 tablespoon dry white vermouth or white wine
1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley, for garnish

Steps:

  • Place a large sauté pan or skillet over medium-high heat, and add to it 3 tablespoons of the butter. When it has melted and started to foam, place the scallops in the pan in a single layer, and season with a pinch or two of salt.
  • Cook scallops without moving until the bottoms are golden brown, approximately 2 to 3 minutes, then turn them over, add the wine and cook an additional 1 to 2 minutes.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/4 pounds sea scallops (about 20), "foot" muscles removed
Juice of 1 1/2 limes, plus wedges for serving
1/2 shallot, finely chopped
3 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
4 teaspoons fish sauce
5 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 head napa cabbage, shredded (about 7 cups)
2 Persian cucumbers, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced crosswise
4 radishes, thinly sliced
1 Granny Smith apple, cut into matchsticks
2 cups fresh Thai or regular basil, roughly chopped
1/4 cup unsalted dry-roasted peanuts, roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Place the scallops on a large plate lined with a paper towel and pat dry. Combine the lime juice, shallot, chili sauce, fish sauce and 1/4 cup vegetable oil in a large bowl; whisk to combine. Add the cabbage, cucumbers, radishes, apple and basil to the dressing and toss well to coat.
  • Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add the scallops in an even layer (do not crowd the pan). Cook, undisturbed, until a golden crust forms on the bottom of the scallops, about 3 minutes. Flip the scallops (they should release easily from the pan; if they stick, cook 1 more minute). Cook until lightly browned on the other side, about 2 minutes.
  • Divide the cabbage salad among plates and add the scallops. Top with the peanuts and serve with lime wedges.

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.

1/4 cup rice vinegar

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality scallops. Fresh scallops should be firm and have a slightly briny smell. Avoid scallops that are slimy or have a strong fishy odor.
  • Sear the scallops in a hot pan. This will help to create a crispy crust on the outside while keeping the inside tender and juicy.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan. If you overcrowd the pan, the scallops will not sear properly and will steam instead.
  • Cook the scallops for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and opaque throughout. Do not overcook the scallops, as they will become tough.
  • Serve the scallops immediately. Scallops are best enjoyed when they are hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Thai scallop sauté is a quick and easy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The scallops are seared until golden brown and then tossed in a flavorful sauce. This dish is sure to impress your friends and family. Additional tips:
  • If you do not have a wok, you can use a large skillet.
  • You can also use other types of seafood in this dish, such as shrimp or calamari.
  • Serve the scallops over rice or noodles.
  • Garnish the dish with chopped cilantro or green onions.
