What an unusual recipe - but I loved this recipe, and my husband deemed it "a keeper". The loose tea I had on hand was Republic of Tea Blackberry Sage, and you could taste the subtle flavors in the sauce. I did double the sauce so we'd have extra to serve over the rice I substituted for the pasta. But the two of us easily polished off all the scallops, there's no way we could limit ourselves to 4oz each (although we may just be greedy when it comes to seafood). This was very, very good!

I thought this was a lovely, delicious dish. The ingredients are things we have on-hand, making this recipe easy. I wish I had had a finer mesh to strain the sauce, but it was still yummy! I will make this one again.

We very much enjoyed this recipe. It was different and very tasty. However i would suggest to cut by half the soya sauce and add the rest according to taste. Some soya sauce are stronger than others THANKS WE WILL DO IT AGAIN.

Shame on me for getting behind with this review. My grocery store erroneously listed the price of their sea scallops, and I just happened to be the first to fall into the trap and say something, my lucky day! I ended up with 2-2 lb. bags free! It's always a treat to find scallops with no added water. I'm so glad this came up first in my search on Zaar, so delicious! I'm a little embarrassed to say all I had was Red Rose tea bags, everything else was chai or some other flavor...I just poured it all right in there and the sauce,(which I doubled), without straining, was fab. I used fresh squeezed orange juice, which is always better than concentrate. The sauce was so sweet and tangy and was enough to soak the wide rice noodles to perfection. We love rice noodles, and it was great to find a recipe that called for them. Thank you for this recipe, I will be making it again, and will also use the sauce with other things. YUMMMMM!

Very good and easy way to serve scallops, yet it looks impressive. Two things I would suggest. Start the scallops in a screaming hot pan to get a nice crusty sear on each side. Also, I just tossed a tea bag into the sauce (which I doubled) that way I didn't have to worry about the mess and the fuss of straining the sauce. Why work when you don't have to?

This is a keeper is what my DH said when I served this one! So easy to make. Had the sauce all made up early in the day and when dinner time came I was ready. My in-laws are coming this weekend and DH wants me to make this for them. I used bay scallops, just personal taste, and served over pasta. Very elegant dish. Thanks for posting this one.

This was fabulous!! My mother's favorite dish is scallops. The night I made this, there wasn't a single bite left! (not even a drop of sauce) Don't laugh, but my black tea was in tea bags, but it worked out just fine. The black tea and orange juice really added a unique flavor to the sauce. Chia, you got three "two-thumbs up" for this, from me, and my two dinner guests!!

Excellent! Added some mushrooms and served it over angel hair pasta.

This was very tasty! I served it over white rice just because I was out of noodles and it was great. I'm not usually crazy about citrus flavored foods but this was not overly-orangey and really very quick and easy to put together. Thanks for sharing this

Not our favorite. My DH, who loves scallops, thought the sauce covered up the taste of the scallops too much. My DD, who doesn't like scallops, thought the "fishy" taste was still there. We had never had rice noodles before and found them rather tasteless. Per another review, I doubled the sauce which helped the noodles a lot. The four of us finished them off, no problem; but I will probably not make any scallops again (until DD leaves for college)
