  • 4 stars - Got some fresh scallops at the Farmer's Market and made this because I happened to have everything on hand that it called for. Invited a neighbor to share it with me. We both enjoyed it. - ME 9/17/2011

Preparation

Step 1

1. Cook noodles according to package directions, omitting salt and fat. Drain well. Pat noodles dry with paper towels; set aside. Pat scallops dry with paper towels. Place cornmeal in a shallow dish; dredge scallops in cornmeal. Heat 1 tablespoon peanut oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add scallops; cook 3 minutes on each side or until browned. Remove from pan; cover and keep warm. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons peanut oil in pan over medium-high heat.

2. Add noodles; pat into an even layer in pan. Cook 3 minutes or until browned, shaking pan occasionally. Carefully turn the noodles over in sections; cook 3 minutes or until browned, shaking pan occasionally.

3. Place browned noodles on a platter. Heat sesame oil in pan over medium-high heat. Add green onions, ginger, and garlic; stir-fry 2 minutes. Stir in soy sauce, vinegar, and oyster sauce; cook 1 minute or until thoroughly heated. Drizzle sauce over noodles; top with scallops. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
