My mom found this recipe years ago, and it is still of the most often made (or at least craved) meals. Packed with flavor, this dish is sure to excite your taste buds!

SERVES 4 -6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup unseasoned rice vinegar
2 teaspoons fresh ginger, minced
2 teaspoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons chili paste
1 teaspoon oriental sesame oil
1 teaspoon orange zest
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons fresh mint
2-3 packages udan Asian noodles (may be hard to find, so 1 lb. linguine will work perfectly)
1/2 lb shrimp
1/2 lb scallops

Directions

1
Combine all ingredients (except shrimp and scallops) and stir gently.
2
I generally will make the sauce the night before to allow the flavors to soak in together, but letting the sauce sit for an hour will do perfectly as well.
3
Cook shrimp and scallops in sauce for about 10 minutes.
4
Mix sauce with noodles and enjoy!

This was phenomenal! I used 2 lbs scallops (quartered) and 2 packages of Udan Asian noodles (We like lots of left-overs). I also doubled the sauce and added 1 extra teaspoon of the chili sauce. My husband said, "Honey that was really delicious. Thank you so much." So this is definitely a keeper! :o) BTW, I think this would be good with beef strips as well.

This was incredible! So many flavors and just the right bite with the chili paste. Definitely could use more seafood to the amount of noodles. That is the only change I will make to this next time. There will be many repeats on this one. Delish!

I've rated it 4 stars based on my modification. It's an easy recipe to cook but the recipe as it stands was a little bit sweet for our tastebuds. The second time I cooked it I halved the honey and increased the chilli, and it was then much more to the family's taste. I served it on rice rather than with noodles but will try with noodles in the future. The second time I made it with chicken rather than the seafood. I'll use this recipe again and again as it is flexible, easy and tasty. A great combination for any recipe in my house.

We enjoyed the dish. We did think it needed a bit more heat. We liked the flavor but thought it lacked some of the spicy taste we were looking for. I would double the chili paste and maybe add some red pepper flakes to get the added heat. Overall a really good dish. I used soba noodles instead of the udan. Thanks for posting.
