Crispy Scallops with Soy Dipping Sauce Recipe:
Crispy Scallops with Soy Dipping Sauce
1 lg Egg white
1 T Canola oil
1 T Toasted sesame oil
1 ts Reduced sodium soy sauce
1/2 c Unseasoned dry breadcrumbs; fine
2 ts Sesame seeds
1/2 ts Ground ginger
1 1/4 lb Sea scallops; sliced in half horizontally
and patted dry
Dipping Sauce:
2 T Reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 T Rice-wine vinegar
1 T Scallions; chopped
1 ts Honey
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Lightly oil a wire rack
large enough to hold scallops in a single layer. Put
the rack on a baking sheet and set aside.
In a bowl, whisk together egg white, vegetable oil,
sesame oil, and soy sauce until creamy. In a shallow
dish, stir together breadcrumbs, sesame seeds, and
ginger.
Add the scallops to the egg-white mixture, tossing to
coat them well. Transfer the scallops to the
breadcrumb mixture in two or three batches, tossing
each with a spoon to coat evenly.
Place the scallops on the prepared rack; they should
not touch each other. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until
the outsides are golden and the centers are opaque.
To Make Dipping Sauce: In a small bowl, stir together
the sauce ingredients. Serve alongside the hot
scallops.
