Spicy Bay Scallop Rice Bowl Recipes

Steps:

• Pat scallops dry, then season on all sides with ½ tsp. salt.
• Heat ginger and 1 Tbsp. oil in a large high-sided skillet or medium Dutch oven over medium until oil is hot. Add kale and ¼ cup water and toss to coat. Cook until kale is wilted and water is evaporated, 5-7 minutes. Season with remaining ½ tsp. salt.
• Meanwhile, heat remaining 2 Tbsp oil in large nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Cook scallops until golden brown and firm to the touch, about 3 minutes per side.
• Divide scallops among shallow bowls or plates; arrange kale, avocado, and some rice next to scallops. Drizzle with spice oil and serve with lemons for squeezing over.

Steps:

• Make Rice. And set aside.
• Preheat oven to 425 Degrees F.
• Spicy Sauce: Whisk together the first 8 ingredients. Add more or less Sriracha to your preferred heat level.
• Place the Scallops into a baking dish and add 1/2 cup of the Spicy Sauce. Mix well and spread scallops and spead evenly into one layer.
• Bake Scallops for 10 to 12 minutes, until the top is just starting to brown and sizzling and the scallops are barely done. (5-7 minutes in Convection Oven). BARELY DONE is the important part -- you don't want Scallops like rubber.
• Assemble: Add 1/2 Cup Rice to each bowl, top with your choice of toppings, scallops, and garnish with remaining Spicy Sauce, Sriracha and Soy Sauce to Taste.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, bring 1 1/2 cups salted water to a boil. Add rice, and return to a boil, stirring once. Reduce to a simmer; cover and cook until rice is tender, about 15 minutes.
