Low FODMAP Miso Seared Scallops can be served as an appetizer or main dish. The plate is the baby sister to the Miso Black Cod but quicker to prepare and do not need to be marinaded overnight.
Miso is soy-based, and we know soy is a no-no on the FODMAP list. Although whole soy beans contain a significant amount of the galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) stachyose, many products made from soy beans are actually low in FODMAPs. Miso is fermented which reduces the FODMAP content and 2 tablespoons of paste per serving has been classed as low FODMAP.
Serve on a horizontal plate or scallop shell, or on a bed of greens. Garnish with parsley or chives if desired.
