Asian Marinated Scallops

Today's dinner is Asian Marinated Scallops from the _Eating Well After Weight Loss Surgery_ cookbook. I cut the recipe in half, because I seriously don't like leftover fish. Yes, I know that's weird, but whatever...

Scallops are expensive, and have a delicate flavor which is easily overpowered by strong seasonings. That is the problem with this recipe; it has about 4 times too much soy sauce - a half cup to a pound of scallops. It would have been better with less soy sauce and a bit of fish sauce and maybe some white wine. The recipe is easy enough for my non-cooking 5th grade nephew to make, were he so inclined, but I won't be making it again. Poor little soy-smothered scallops....

Next up, I'll be making one of the cauliflower side dishes, so stay tuned...
