Pan-Asian Geoduck Scaloppine
- 2 ounces peanut oil
- 12 (2-ounce) pieces geoduck scaloppine, 1/4-inch thick, cut from body meat
- Seasoned flour, enough to lightly coat geoduck pieces
- 1 cup sake
- 6 ounces aji-mirin
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon peeled, minced ginger
- 4 ounces butter
- 4 teaspoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 2 teaspoons minced cilantro
- Lemon wedges
- Heat oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat.
- Dredge the geoduck scaloppine in the seasoned flour, quickly shaking off excess, and carefully placing them into hot oil.
- Add only as many as the pan will comfortably hold at one time.
- Allow to brown on first side, approximately 2 minutes, and then turn over gently with metal tongs.
- Cook for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, then remove the scaloppine to a warm serving platter.
- Continue to do the same with all the pieces of geoduck.
- Set aside and keep warm (without cooking further).
- Pour off any excess oil from the pan.
- Add the sake, aji-mirin, garlic, and ginger.
- Reduce over high heat until reduced by 75 percent, the liquid remaining in pan should become almost syrupy.
- Add the butter, remove from the heat, and swirl the softened butter into the liquid, forming an emulsion.
- Add lemon juice and blend thoroughly.
- Arrange the geoduck attractively and then evenly nap the sauce over the scalloppine.
- Sprinkle with cilantro and garnish with lemon wedges.
