Asian Volcano Scallop

I have had something similar at a sushi restaurant so I wanted to make it at home.

Bottom to top, this is how I assemble these tasty little appetizers:

Lettuce leaf
Soy/Mirin sauce
Scallop
Crab Salad
Sweet Potato Strings
Soy/Mirin sauce

The lettuce leaf is easy, and any kind will do. You could use romaine, bibb, or even iceberg if you had it on hand.

The soy/mirin sauce is easy, just reduce:
1/4 cup mirin
1/2 cup soy
1/4 cup sugar

For the scallops, I sear them in a super hot pan with sesame oil for 2 minutes on each side. Don't let them sit around long, you should serve them warm.

Crab salad is also simple, just mix:
crab
1/4 cup mayo
sriracha sauce (really depends on how spicy you want it)
1 t sugar

For the sweet potatoes use a potato peeler to make thin strips, bake at 325 til brown.
