Spicy Orange Soy Scallops With Soba Noodles Recipes

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine marinade ingredients and marinate scallops while you prep the rest of the ingredients.
• Cook soba according to package directions; drain. In a large mixing bowl, combine soba with remaining pasta mixture ingredients. Toss like a Caesar salad.
• In a skillet, heat oil over medium heat and saute scallops 1 1/2 minutes on each side; do not overcook. Pour scallops and juices right over soba.

Steps:

• For the rolls: Cook the soba noodles according to the package directions in salted water until al dente. Drain and rinse the noodles under cold water.
• Fill a large wide bowl with very warm water. Dip one rice paper wrapper into the water and allow it to soften for a few seconds. Then carefully remove it from the water.
• Top the wrapper with a piece of lettuce, a small handful of the soba, a few pieces of tofu, peach or mango, cucumber, carrot, bean sprouts and a few mint and cilantro leaves.
• Fold in the edges of the wrapper and roll up like a burrito, pressing edge to seal. Set aside into a reusable container lined with a damp paper towel. Continue with the remaining wrappers and ingredients.
• For the dipping sauce: Whisk together the lime juice, sriracha, soy sauce, honey, ginger, sesame seeds and sesame oil.
• Store the rolls and sauce in resealable containers in the fridge until ready to serve, or portion out for lunch. Cut the rolls in half just before serving with the dipping sauce.

Steps:

• Cook the soba noodles according to the package directions. Drain and transfer to a large zip-top plastic bag. Add 2 teaspoons of the oil, seal the bag, and shake to coat the noodles.
• Meanwhile, heat the remaining 2 teaspoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ginger and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Increase the heat to medium-high; add the pork, and cook, stirring, until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes total. Add the salt and pepper and stir to coat the pork. Add the scallions and sesame seeds and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the broth and soy sauce reduce heat to medium, and simmer until the pork is cooked through, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the water chestnuts.
• If you're stopping here:
• Let cool to room temperature, then transfer the mixture to a large zip-top plastic bag or plastic container and refrigerate along with the bag of noodles for up to 3 days.
• When you're ready to eat:
• Combine the pork mixture and soba noodles in a large skillet set over medium heat and simmer for 5 minutes to heat through. You can also reheat the noodles and pork mixture together in the microwave for 3 to 5 minutes on HIGH. Meanwhile, chop the cilantro.
• Remove from the heat, stir in the cilantro, and serve.

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.

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.

Steps:

• In a small skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Season scallops with salt and pepper; cook until browned and opaque throughout, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate; cover loosely with foil. Cut orange segments into 1/2-inch pieces.
• Reduce heat to medium, add wine to skillet, and cook 30 seconds. Add butter and 3 tablespoons orange juice and cook, swirling, until sauce is thickened, 1 minute. Remove from heat and add chives and orange pieces. Season with salt and pepper and spoon over scallops and couscous.
