SAUTEED SCALLOPS WITH GINGER

Steps:

• In a large skillet heat the oil and the butter over moderately high heat until the foam subsides, in the fat sauté the scallops, patted dry, for 30 seconds on each side, or until they are cooked through, and transfer them to a bowl. In the fat remaining in the skillet cook the gingerroot and the shallot over moderately low heat, stirring, until the shallot is softened and stir in the scallion, the scallops with any juice that has accumulated in the bowl, the lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste.

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.
