Tamari-Balsamic Reduction

Method

Scallops

  1. 1

    Prepare the Scallops

    Pat the scallops dry and season them with Cajun seasoning on both sides.

  2. 2

    Sear the Scallops

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the scallops and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are blackened and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.

Pickled Ginger Salad

  1. 3

    Pickle the Ginger

    In a bowl, mix the sliced ginger, rice vinegar, and sugar. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes to pickle.

  2. 4

    Prepare the Salad

    Combine the pickled ginger, cucumber, carrot, and cilantro in a large bowl. Toss gently to combine.

Tamari-Balsamic Reduction

  1. 5

    Make the Reduction

    In a small saucepan, combine tamari sauce and balsamic vinegar. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and reduce until thickened, about 10-15 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
