Soy and Sesame Glazed Scallops

Soy and Sesame Glazed Scallops

I love recipes that take minutes to prepare and look so impressive; this is one of those!

Serves 4

1 tbsp brown sugar

1 tsp cornstarch

2 tsbp sodium reduced soy sauce

10 dashes sesame oil

½ Cup cold water

½ tbsp butter

20 medium sized scallops

1 scallion/green onion, sliced on an angle

–  Lay all the scallops on a plate and pat dry with a clean paper towel.

–  Combine the brown sugar cornstarch, soy sauce, sesame oil and water in a jar; shake well until you see the cornstarch is dissolved.

–  Heat a skillet over medium high-heat and add the butter, when it’s melted, add the scallops.

–  Flip the scallops after 2 minutes.

–  Cook the scallops for another 2 minutes (on the second side) and then pour the soy mixture into the pan.

–  Coat the scallops in the mixture on both sides and then place them on a serving plate (you can tell they’re cooked when the centre of the scallop is opaque, you’ll see it on the sides).

–  After all of the scallops have been placed on the plate, boil the soy mixture until it thickens.

–  Pour the sauce over the scallops and then top with the green onions.

–  Serve immediately.

Notes:

1. Feel free to garnish with toasted sesame seeds also.
