Scallops With Cilantro Sauce And Asian Slaw
- 1 large carrot, cut into julienne
- 1/3 lb daikon radish, peeled and cut into julienne
- 1 unpeeled Granny Smith apple, cut into julienne
- 1 scallion, cut into julienne (with a knife)
- 3 tablespoons rice vinegar (not seasoned)
- 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
- 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 to 2 teaspoons minced fresh serrano chile
- 1 teaspoon Asian fish sauce
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 1/2 lb sea scallops, tough muscle discarded from each
- an adjustable-blade slicer with julienne blade
- Toss together carrot, radish, apple, scallion, vinegar, 1 tablespoon sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a bowl. Let stand, tossing occasionally, 15 minutes to soften.
- Stir together cilantro, lime juice, chile, fish sauce, 3 tablespoons oil, and remaining 1/2 tablespoon sugar, or to taste.
- Pat scallops dry. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Heat remaining tablespoon oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, and saute scallops, turning over once, until golden and just cooked through, about 4 minutes total.
- Drain slaw, discarding liquid. Divide among 6 plates and top with scallops. Drizzle with cilantro sauce.
