SCALLION RICE

Steps:

• Place a medium-size pot with a lid over medium-high heat with about 2 tablespoons of oil.
• Add the rice to the pan and cook it for a minute, then add the chicken stock.
• Bring the liquids up to a bubble, then put the lid on the pot, reduce the heat and cook until the rice has absorbed all of the liquid, 40-45 minutes (18-20 minutes for white rice).
• Fluff the cooked rice with a fork and stir in scallions.
• Alternately you can cook this in your rice cooker, according to cooking directions. I have to presoak brown rice. Just skip the browning, oil is optional, and add scallions at the end. Fluff and serve.

SESAME LIME SCALLION RICE

Steps:

• In a 3- to 4-quart saucepan or skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium heat. Add the scallion whites, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and a pinch of pepper. Cook, stirring often, until tender but not browned, about 5 minutes.
• Add the rice and cook, stirring often, until it begins to crackle, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Add the chicken broth, lime zest, 1 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoons pepper; bring to a boil. Cover and turn the heat down to low. Cook until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed, about 18 minutes. The trick to perfect is rice is not to lift the lid or stir during this stage. Leave it alone until all the liquid is absorbed.
• Remove from the heat and using a fork, fluff the scallion greens, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, and the lime juice into the rice. Let rest 5 minutes.
• Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and serve.

SWEET SOY SALMON WITH SCALLION RICE

Steps:

• Position an oven rack about 4-inches below the heat source and preheat the broiler. Line a baking sheet with foil and coat with cooking spray.
• Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the scallion whites and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and translucent, about 3 minutes. Add 1 1/2 cups water, the rice and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a simmer. Stir a few times, cover, reduce the heat to low and simmer until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed, about 17 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Meanwhile, stir together the honey, lime juice and soy until smooth. Put the salmon, skin side-down, on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Broil, basting 3 to 4 times with the sauce, until just cooked through, 6 to 7 minutes.
• Fluff the rice and stir in the scallion greens. Divide among 4 plates and top with a piece of salmon. Sprinkle the fish with sesame seeds. Serve with lime wedges.

SESAME-SCALLION CHICKEN SALAD

Steps:

• Bring chicken, 3 Tbsp. kosher salt, and 5 cups water to a bare simmer in a medium pot over medium heat (chicken should be submerged). Be patient-this will take a little while. Once liquid begins to simmer, reduce heat to low and cook (water should not be simmering at all now) until juices run clear when thickest part of chicken is pierced, 8-10 minutes. Transfer chicken to a medium bowl; discard poaching liquid. Let chicken sit until cool enough to handle, then shred meat into big pieces; set aside.
• Meanwhile, place scallions in a small bowl and pour in very cold water to cover; let soak 10 minutes.
• Drain scallions in a mesh sieve or colander, then rinse under cold running water, swishing vigorously to rinse and to encourage them to curl up. Shake off as much water as possible and place in a large bowl; set aside.
• Working one at a time, slice cucumbers in half crosswise, then slice each piece in half lengthwise. Place quarters cut side down and slice in half lengthwise again to create 8 pieces total per cucumber. Add to bowl with reserved chicken.
• Set 1 Tbsp. sesame seeds aside in a small bowl for serving. Crush remaining sesame seeds in a mortar and pestle until some of the seeds have turned to powder, but with plenty of whole seeds left. (Alternatively, you can pulse seeds a few times in a food processor or spice mill, then transfer to a medium bowl before proceeding). Add lime juice, tahini, soy sauce, honey, and red pepper flakes and mash to create a paste. Add ¼ cup water and whisk to combine (if you don't have a small enough whisk, work in with the pestle). Taste and season with salt.
• Add lettuce and cilantro to bowl with reserved scallions. Pour half of dressing over and toss to coat. Arrange on a platter. Pour remaining dressing over chicken and cucumbers, toss to coat, and arrange over greens. Top salad with reserved 1 Tbsp. sesame seeds and squeeze juice from lime half over.

OCTOPUS SALAD WITH SCALLION AND LIME

Steps:

• Cut tentacles from octopus and discard head. Coarsely chop carrots, onion, and celery. In a large kettle cover octopus, carrots, onion, celery, parsley, peppercorns, cloves, and bay leaf with water and bring to a boil. Simmer mixture, covered, 40 minutes, or until octopus is tender. Remove kettle from heat and cool mixture 30 minutes.
• Transfer octopus with tongs to a colander and discard cooking liquid and vegetable mixture. Rub octopus gently under cold running water to remove as much of purple outer coating as possible without removing suction cups. Drain octopus and cut crosswise into paper-thin slices. Octopus may be prepared up to this point 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.
• In a bowl stir together all marinade ingredients. Transfer half of marinade to another bowl and reserve, covered and chilled. Add octopus to remaining marinade, tossing to combine. Marinate octopus, covered and chilled, 1 day. Bring octopus to room temperature before proceeding. With a slotted spoon transfer octopus and chili to bowl of reserved marinade and discard any remaining used marinade. Marinate octopus, covered and chilled, 1 day more. Bring octopus to room temperature before proceeding.
• In a small bowl stir together yogurt and lime juice and season with salt and pepper. Chill sauce, covered, until ready to assemble salad.
• Cut mint and coriander leaves into thin shreds. Peel and seed tomato. Diagonally cut scallions crosswise into thin slices and cut tomato, bell pepper, and cucumber into julienne strips.
• Transfer octopus to another bowl and discard marinade and chili. Toss octopus with shredded mint and coriander, tomato, scallions, bell pepper, cucumber, 2 tablespoons sauce, and salt and pepper to taste.
• Pour a small amount of sauce onto centers of 4 chilled plates. Mound one fourth octopus salad in center of 1 plate. (If using ring mold, put it in center of plate, fill it with one fourth octopus salad, and carefully remove mold.) Repeat procedure with remaining 3 plates. Garnish salads with mint and drizzle with some sauce. Serve any remaining sauce on the side.

RICE NOODLES WITH SCALLIONS AND HERBS

• Combine water, fish sauce, lime juice, sugar, and chile.
• Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and scallions, and cook for 10 seconds. Remove from heat.

SOY-BUTTER BASTED SCALLOPS WITH WILTED GREENS AND SESAME

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200 degrees. Season the scallops well with salt and pepper. Heat a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high. Add 2 tablespoons grapeseed oil and, when it shimmers, add the scallops. Cook undisturbed for 2 to 3 minutes, until they begin to brown and form a crust on the bottom.
• Flip the scallops, add the butter and soy sauce to the pan and use a spoon to repeatedly drizzle the sauce over the tops of the scallops to finish cooking, 1 to 2 minutes more.
• Set the scallops on an oven-safe plate and pour the butter mixture on top. Place the plate in the oven to keep the scallops warm while you finish the rest of the dish.
• Add the remaining 1 tablespoon grapeseed oil to the skillet and heat over medium. Add the garlic and red-pepper flakes, if using, and cook until the garlic is pale golden, about 2 minutes, adding a teaspoon or so more of grapeseed oil if needed. Return the heat to medium-high and add the spinach, in batches, if needed, and season with salt. Toss until the spinach wilts, adding a few teaspoons of water to help it along, if needed, and scrape the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Turn off the heat.
• Add the scallops back to the pan and pour any residual butter-sauce over top. Drizzle the dish with sesame oil and a good squeeze of lime. Top with scallions and sesame seeds, if using, and serve with rice.
