Pan Seared Tofu Scallops

This recipe was derived as an experiment to try to recreate the taste and texture of scallops. While not a dead ringer (and not a dead scallop either) it serves well, looks pretty and makes for a nice meal.

Served with brown rice mixed with raw shredded carrots for color, a few sweet potato oven fries and a little wakame left from the marinade combined with a nice green salad, it's a suitable "guilt-free" substitute.

  13. color. Add some sweet potato oven fries and a spoonful or two of the seaweed from the marinade. Serve with a fresh green salad and side of fruit.
  14. If you don't have any vegetarian fish sauce or can't locate an Asian market, you can make your own sauce that will do just as well.

  16. Place all the ingredients in a blender (or in a container and use a hand blender). Let sit for 5 minutes to soften the seaweed. Blend until smooth. Strain through a fine mesh sieve or cheese cloth.
