Directions

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, garlic, sesame oil, red pepper flakes, and cornstarch. Add scallops into bowl and marinate for at least 10 minutes. Remove scallops but reserve marinade.
2. Meanwhile, using a spiral vegetable cutter, make spaghetti-like noodles with zucchini. Pat dry with paper towels to remove moisture.
3. Heat a heavy saute pan or cast iron pan on medium-high heat and add oil. Sprinkle scallops with salt and pepper. Sear scallops on one side 3 to 4 minutes until golden brown. Cook on other side for about 2 minutes more. Add half of the marinade to the pan to coat the scallops. Remove scallops to a dish and keep warm. Add in the zucchini noodles to the pan and cook quickly until sauce coats the zucchini. Serve immediately with the scallops on the side or on top of the zucchini. Garnish with chopped cilantro and sesame seeds.
4. Note: To toast the sesame seeds: Place in a skillet on the stove over medium heat and dry toast it until light brown. Don't overcook.
