Three Delicious Japanese Sauces for Seared Scallops
- Spicy Mayo Sauce: Japanese love seafood with mayo! For this sauce, I spiced up the mayo to add some kick. Spicy mayo is very easy to make, just add Sriracha sauce to mayonnaise – find my recipe here.
- Unagi sauce: This thick soy sauce is my children’s favorite because it’s sweet. I used a bottled unagi sauce this time (as you only need a few dollops), but you can make homemade unagi sauce using my recipe here. The sweetness of the sauce adds a nice touch to seared scallops. There are so many options with seared scallops from the cooking method, to the scallop sauce, to the wine served alongside this wonderful seafood dish. My seared scallop recipe is very detailed, including instructions to
Seared Scallops with Wine
During the warm months, we enjoy drinking rose and fun white wines in the afternoon while watching the kids play in the backyard. Tower 15’s Sauvignon Blanc and Rose are perfect for these relaxing occasions. The Sauvignon Blanc is Tower 15’s first release and it is simply fabulous! The texture is very creamy and easy on the palate. It’s is a very fruity wine, reminding me of fresh peach juice with a hint of tartness and spice. We have paired this wine with three styles of seared scallops and they all worked very well together. Beside the Sauvignon Blanc, we shared the “Sunset Rose” a few days ago with a group of friends at a Chinese restaurant and everyone enjoyed it. The crisp chilled Rose filled with summer fruit flavors complemented the salty Chinese food. If you are looking to bring a fun bottle of wine to a party in the summer, I would recommend the Rose for an afternoon BBQ and the Sauvignon Blanc for a sit down dinner in the backyard. Please note: We received no compensation for this review. We received Tower 15’s 2012 Sauvignon Blanc and Sunset Rose from Jarvis Communications free of charge to use in exchange for an honest review.
