Miso-Glazed Scallops with Soba Noodles

From EatingWell: April/May 2005, The EatingWell Healthy in a Hurry Cookbook (2006) — Subscribe Now!

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.

Great flavor and easy to make. I doubled the sauce and had 1 and half lbs of scallops. Good ration of scallop to sauce. Also I added sauteed bok choy to the noodles. A very good addition - makes it more interesting. Sara, Colchester, VT	8 weeks 4 days ago
This was awesome!! Although I will have to double the sauce next time. I didn't have rice vinegar and used instead 1 TB of regular vinegar. Since I love garlic, I also added extra to the noodles. I heated some frozen spinach with a little bit of sesame oil and added that to the noodles as well. AWESOMENESS. Raquel, Plainfield, IL	8 weeks 4 days ago

Excellent blend of flavors! I find mirin to be a little too sweet for my taste, so I added a tablespoon of tamari to add some savoriness to the marinade. I also replaced some of the canola oil with dark sesame oil to punch up the Asian flavor. , Burlington, VT	8 weeks 4 days ago
Great bright gingery flavor and nice variety of textures. We found the finished dish was helped by a dash of good soy sauce. We did get "dry" scallops, and they still wouldn't caramelize. I wonder if we need higher initial heat -- will try that next time around. Anonymous, Hershey, PA	8 weeks 4 days ago
A bit too sweet for my taste - would lessen mirin, and I think sauce flavors (that are delicious) overwhelm the delicateness of scallops. Will alter and try with chicken. Anonymous, Falmouth, MA	8 weeks 4 days ago
The marinade/sauce is excellent and I've used it on chicken without any marinating time with great success. Anonymous, Windsor, On	8 weeks 4 days ago
I enjoyed this recipe, but wish it had made more sauce for the noodles. The flavor of the marinade was excellent. Anonymous, Cambridge, MA	8 weeks 4 days ago
Easy and delicious. After trying this dish, I now keep miso in the fridge and have found numerous uses.	10 weeks 6 days ago
