How To Make blood orange miso scallops

  • 1
    In a bowl, add orange juice, red miso paste, orange zest, and mirin. Whisk the ingredients until nicely blended and set aside for now.
  • 2
    Season scallops with white pepper and set aside.
  • 3
    In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add oil and when it starts shimmering, place the scallops, seasoned side down. Cook them for about 1 ½ to 2 minutes per side or until golden.
  • 4
    Transfer cooked scallops to warm plates, reduce the heat to medium-low and also move the skillet off the burner for a couple minutes.
  • 5
    Bring skillet back on the burner and add butter.
  • 6
    When melted, add the minced ginger and sauté it for only 1 minute.

  • 8
    Add nira chives, stir until incorporated and cook for 2 more minutes.
