A good pairing would be a simple green salad dressed with a citrus vinaigrette.

Cook noodles, stirring occasionally, until just tender, 6 to 8 minutes or according to package directions.

Meanwhile, whisk miso, mirin, vinegar, canola oil, ginger and garlic in a medium bowl.

Add scallops and stir gently to coat.

Let marinate for 5 minutes (scallops will begin to break down if marinated longer).

Using a slotted spoon, remove the scallops, reserving the marinade for the sauce.

Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.

Add the scallops and cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side.

Transfer to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.

Add the reserved marinade to the pan and cook over medium-high heat until brown, about 1 minute.

Pour the sauce over the noodles, add scallions and toss to coat.

Top with scallops and serve immediately.

A little goes a long way because of its concentrated, salty taste.

In general, the lighter the color, the more mild the flavor.

It will keep, in the refrigerator, for more than a year.

Mirin: A low-alcohol rice wine essential to Japanese cooking.

Look for it in the Asian or gourmet-ingredients section of your supermarket.

An equal portion of sherry or white wine with a pinch of sugar may be substituted for mirin.
