SOY CITRUS MARINATED SCALLOPS

Steps:

• Whisk together soy sauce, lemon and lime juices, sugar, ginger, and sesame oil in a wide shallow nonreactive bowl. Add scallops and marinate, covered, at room temperature, 5 minutes on each side (do not marinate any longer, or scallops will become mushy once cooked). Transfer scallops to a plate and reserve marinade.
• Heat 1/2 teaspoon vegetable oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté scallops, 6 to 8 at a time, until golden brown and just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes on each of the 2 flat sides, transferring to a plate as cooked. Wipe out skillet and add 1/2 teaspoon oil between batches.
• Wipe out skillet again, then add marinade and boil until reduced to about 1/3 cup, about 2 minutes. Drizzle scallops with sauce.

SPICY ORANGE SOY SCALLOPS WITH SOBA NOODLES

Steps:

• Combine first 7 ingredients in a medium sized bowl. Stir to combine. Add scallops and set aside.
• Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil and add the noodles. When the water begins to foam up, add 1 cup cold water and turn off the heat. Let noodles sit until they are cooked through - about 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• Remove the scallops from the marinade and pat dry. In a large non stick saute pan heat the vegetable oil until hot but not smoking. Reduce the heat to medium high and add the scallops and cook until the scallops are golden brown - about 1 1/2 minutes. Turn scallops over and cook until the other side is golden brown and scallops are opaque in the center. Remove scallops from the pan and set aside.
• Over medium high heat, add the snow peas and saute until the snow peas are tender - about 2 - 3 minutes. Add the reserved sauce and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and add the reserved soba noodles, tossing to coat the noodles with the sauce.
• Divide noodles and snow peas among 4 shallow bowls or plates. Top with the scallops and garnish with the sliced scallions.
