WASABI-SOY VINAIGRETTE
This all-purpose salad vinaigrette is reminiscent of the wasabi-tinged soy sauce you might have with a California roll. Soy sauce, rice vinegar and sesame oil waltz in time, while the wasabi paste adds nose-clearing excitement. As with any recipe, feel free to adjust the ingredient amounts to your taste preferences, especially the wasabi, which can be scaled down or up. Be sure to shake if it's been sitting in the fridge, as it wants to separate.

Steps:
- In a small liquid measuring cup or a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine 1/4 cup water, the garlic, sugar, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil and wasabi paste. Whisk to combine, or, if using a jar, seal tightly and shake vigorously until emulsified. Taste and add more wasabi if you like; the wasabi flavor will intensify as the vinaigrette sits.
- Use immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 1 week. This tastes great with any green salad, of course, but also with raw, crunchy vegetables, like cucumbers, sugar snap peas and thinly sliced asparagus.
WASABI CRUSTED SCALLOPS
Steps:
- To make the coulis: Heat the canola oil over medium heat in a medium saucepan. Add the shallots, ginger, and garlic and cook, stirring frequently until the shallots are translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the sesame oil, plum wine, lobster stock, coconut milk, sweet chili sauce, and simmer until the flavors blend and the mixture reduces by about one-quarter, about 8 minutes. Add the mango puree and season with lime juice and salt. Simmer for another 3 to 5 minutes then strain and set aside in a warm place.
- To make the crust: In a spice grinder or mortar, grind the mustard and coriander seeds with the peppercorns and wasabi peas. Adjust the seasoning with wasabi powder and salt.
- Shortly before serving roll the scallops in the crust. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the scallops and cook until they begin to crisp then flip. Cook the scallops until they are crisp on all sides. Spoon the scallops onto warm plates. Spoon coulis around the scallops and serve.

- Meanwhile, sprinkle scallops with thyme, salt and pepper. Dredge in flour; shake off excess. Melt 1/2 tablespoon butter with 1 tablespoon olive oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat.

Tips:
- To make the vinaigrette, start by whisking together the rice vinegar, wasabi paste, honey, and sesame oil in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- When searing the scallops, make sure the pan is hot enough so that they sear quickly and evenly. Don't overcrowd the pan, or the scallops will steam instead of sear.
- If you don't have a kitchen torch, you can broil the scallops in the oven for a few minutes until they are browned on top.
- To assemble the salad, simply place the arugula on a plate and top with the seared scallops, toasted almond, and crumbled goat cheese. Drizzle with the wasabi vinaigrette and enjoy!
