Recipe type: Appetizer, Lunch, Dinner
Cuisine: Asian
Ingredients
  • large sea scallops 12
  • olive oil 2 tablespoons
  • butter 1 tablespoon
  • salt and pepper
  • fish sauce (available in tall bottles at Asian/Chinese food stores) 2 tab
  • juice of ½ lime
  • handful of fresh cilantro
  • fresh red chilies 1 to 2
  • cloves garlic 2
  • coconut milk ¼ cup
  • Pinch of sugar
Preparation
  1. Rinse scallops and pat dry (pat drying will help the scallops attain a nice sear and caramel color.)
  2. Heat an IMUSA wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add one tablespoon each of butter and olive oil to the pan.
  3. Season the scallops lightly with salt and fresh ground pepper and gently place them in the wok. Cook the scallops undisturbed for at least 3 minutes.
  4. Turn the scallops and cook another 3 minutes or so. Scallops are ready when both sides have a nice golden color and are firm to the touch.
  5. Remove scallops from the wok and place on a paper towel to drain
  6. In the same wok, heat the remaining tablespoon of oil and sauté the chili peppers and the garlic for 2 minutes over medium heat. Add the rest of the ingredients for the sauce and allow to cook, stirring occasionally another 3 to 4 minutes.
  7. Place all the ingredients for the sauce in the wok over medium heat-high. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes stirring occasionally.
  8. Remove from heat and add additional salt and pepper if necessary. Remove scallops from wok and serve with steamed Jasmine rice. Garnish with extra chopped fresh cilantro leaves.

Author:
Recipe type: Dinner, Lunch
Cuisine: Asian
Ingredients
  • peanut oil (you may use canola instead) 2 tablespoons
  • ginger ½ Teaspoon
  • cloves of garlic 3

  • sesame oil 1 tablespoon
  • dark brown sugar 1½ tablespoons
  • scallions 4
  • flank steak 1 pound
Preparation
  1. Slice the flank steak across the grain into very thin slices (it helps to place it in the freezer for about 30 minutes).
  2. Combine all the remaining ingredients except the scallions and brown sugar to make a marinade.
  3. Combine the sliced flank steak and marinade in a large zip lock bag or a bowl that accommodates both. Allow to marinate for 1 hour and up to 4.

  5. Drain the flank steak well (DO NOT DISCARD MARINADE). Pat the flank steak dry with a paper towel.
  6. Add the remaining oil to the wok and cook the flank steak over medium high heat for about 3 to 4 minutes or until slightly caramelized (do not crowd the pan). You may have to do this in batches. Remove from heat and set aside
  7. Add half the marinade to the wok and bring to a boil. Allow it to boil until it is reduced slightly and thickened.
  8. Add the flank steak back into the wok and sprinkle with brown sugar. Continue to stir-fry for 2 additional minutes.
  9. Add the scallions and stir until combined. Serve over steamed jasmine rice.
