Best Miso Glazed Scallops With Soba Noodles Recipes
MISO-GLAZED SCALLOPS WITH SOBA NOODLES
This Japanese-inspired dish uses one sauce - a sweet/salt combination of mirin and miso - to make both the marinade for the scallops and the caramelized pan sauce for the noodles. A good pairing would be a simple green salad dressed with a citrus vinaigrette.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook noodles, stirring occasionally, until just tender, 6 to 8 minutes or according to package directions. Drain and transfer to a large bowl.
- Meanwhile, whisk miso, mirin, vinegar, canola oil, ginger and garlic in a meadium bowl. Add scallops and stir gently to coat. Let marinate for 5 minutes (scallops will begin to break down if marinated longer). Using a slotted spoon, remove scallops, reserving the marinade for the sauce.
- Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the scallops and cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate an cover with foil to keep warm. Add the marinade to the pan and cook over medium-high heat until brown, about 1 minute. Pour the sauce over the noodles, add scallions and toss to coat. Top with scallops and serve immediately.
- INGREDIENT NOTES:.
- MISO: Fermented bean paste made from barley, rice or soybeans used in Japanese cooking to add flavor to dishes such as soups, sauces and salad dressings. A little goes a long way because of its concentrated, salty taste. Miso is available in different colors, depending on the type of grain or bean and how long it's been fermented. In general, the lighter the color, the more mild the flavor. It will keep, in the refrigerator, for more than a year.
- MIRIN: A low-alcohol rice wine essential to Japanese cooking. Look for it in the Asian or gourmet-ingredients section of your supermarket. An equal portion of sherry or white wine with a pinch of sugar may be substituted for mirin.
- I prefer cooking with "dry" sea scallops (scallops that have not been treated with sodium triplyphosphate, or STP). Scallops that have been treated with STP ("wet" scallops) have been subjected to a chemical bath and are not only mushy and less flavorful, but will not brown properly.

MISO-BROILED SCALLOPS
Miso, the traditional Japanese soybean paste, is one of those convenience foods whose complexity belies its ingredients: it contains only soybeans, salt and grain (usually rice or barley, though others are used too), inoculated with the Aspergillus orzyae bacteria and aged for up to three years. The production process is not unlike that for good hard cheese, and miso is frequently compared with Parmesan. It is equally complex, and both are known for the strong presence of umami, the Japanese word for the fifth taste (after salt, sour, sweet and bitter), roughly translated as ''deliciousness.'' Here, miso is combined with little more than scallops, then allowed to sit for a while before grilling or broiling. The combination and preparation are traditional, the equivalent of slathering something with barbecue sauce before cooking. Of course, miso is a far cry from barbecue sauce: its elegance is unmistakable.

Steps:
- Put miso in a bowl. Add mirin or wine. Whisk until smooth, adding more mirin if needed. Stir in onion, a pinch of salt and of cayenne. Combine scallops, let sit 10 minutes. Cook right away, or cover and refrigerate for up to a day. When ready to cook, heat a broiler (or grill), setting the rack as close as possible to the heat source.
- Broil until lightly browned, without turning, 3 to 5 minutes, or grill, turning once after 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle with lime juice, and serve.

SOBA WITH GRILLED ASPARAGUS AND SEA SCALLOPS WITH SWEET MISO SAUCE
During the summer you can grill the asparagus outdoors. The smoky flavor of a wood charcoal fire adds complexity to this substantial meal. While I call for green asparagus, try making the dish with a colorful array of asparagus-green, white, and purple. White miso, which is called _shiro-miso_ in Japanese can be found in health food stores. Smooth rather than grainy miso is preferable for this recipe.

Steps:
- In a bowl, whisk together the sugar, sake, mirin, and rice vinegar until the sugar is completely dissolved. Add the white miso, ginger, and 1 tablespoon of the oil and whisk until well combined. Set the miso glaze aside.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat and cook the noodles until tender yet firm, about 3 minutes. Drain, shock under cold running water, and drain again.
- Heat a well-oiled grill pan over medium heat. Brush the asparagus and scallops with all or most of the remaining 3 tablespoons of oil and season with salt and pepper to taste. Grill the asparagus first until just tender, 3 to 5 minutes total, rolling them about to heat them evenly all around. Divide and top each noodle serving with asparagus. Grill the scallops in the same pan until cooked through and crisp on each side, about 2 minutes per side. Divide the scallops among the servings of noodles, and spoon some miso glaze over each. Serve garnished with toasted walnuts.
MISO-GLAZED GRILLED SCALLOPS
This simple and sophisticated treatment is perfect for grilled scallops, but also works well on chicken or pork. One note on preparation: Err on the side of undercooking. Take the scallops off the grill before they're opaque all the way through. If you undercook a scallop, it will still be delicious, but if you overcook it, it will get rubbery.

Steps:
- Heat a charcoal or gas grill until very hot. Brush the grill with a little oil and position the grill grate 3 to 4 inches from the heat.
- Whisk together the miso and mirin or sake; season to taste with pepper.
- Thread the scallops through their equators onto metal or soaked wooden skewers and brush them all over with vegetable oil. Grill scallops until they're browned and release easily from the grill, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
- When they're almost done, brush on both sides with the miso mixture, and continue to cook, turning once or twice, until the glaze caramelizes a bit and the scallops are done. Take the scallops off the grill before the interior becomes totally opaque.
- Sprinkle with sesame seeds and scallions and serve immediately.
