Steps:

• In a small bowl add ginger, garlic, green onion, cilantro, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, soy, 1 tablespoon of canola oil, and sake. Whisk ingredients together.
• Place 1 teaspoon of vinaigrette in each soup spoon.
• Season scallops with salt and pepper.

• In a saute pan, over medium-high heat add remaining tablespoon oil. When oil is hot, add scallops, placing them sesame-crusted side down. Sear for approximately 1 minute, or until sesame seeds brown. Turn and sear on other sesame-crusted side for 1 more minute. Place 1 scallop in each soup spoon. Serve immediately.

GINGER SCALLOPS WITH RICE NOODLES

Steps:

• Toss the scallops in the lime juice and set them aside. If using large sea scallops, cut them in half.
• Cook the noodles in boiling salted water for three minutes. Drain and refresh them under cold running water. Place them in a bowl with the sesame oil and the soy sauce. Toss and set aside until you are ready to fry them.
• Remove the scallops from the marinade, pat them dry and sprinkle them lightly with the flour.
• Heat two tablespoons peanut or vegetable oil in a large skillet. Fry the noodles in a pancake, turning them over with a large spatula and scraping up any crispy bits. Place the noodles in a heated bowl and keep warm.
• Heat the remaining two tablespoons peanut or vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet. Stir-fry the garlic and ginger, then add the scallops and brown them lightly on both sides. Season with salt and pepper. Place the scallops on top of the noodles and sprinkle with coriander. Correct seasoning and serve.
