Created and presented by Myra Kornfeld Here, spice-rubbed scallops are topped with a zesty sauce. Five- spice powder, a combination of fennel, star anise, cinnamon, cloves, and schezwan peppercorns, along with fermented black soy beans, give this dish its signature flavor. Both are available in gourmet stores and Asian markets. Have all the ingredients for the sauce ready to go before you sauté the scallops, since the sauce comes together in just a couple of minutes. Editor's note: Myra's recipe calls for sesame oil, which is characteristic of Chinese cuisine. At the cost of altering its flavor, you can cut the omega-6 content of this recipe radically by using mildly nutty macadamia nut oil instead. Cook's note: To prep the black beans, immerse them in a little water. Lift out the beans, leaving the salt behind. Chop the beans finely. Serves 4 Scallops
1 pound Alaskan sea scallops, defrosted and wiped dry Sauce 1 tablespoon unrefined sesame oil or macadamia nut oil
