    Cooking Time: 30 minutes
    Difficulty: hard

    Using a 1" ring mold or a shot glass, carefully cut out silken tofu
    roughly the shape and size of a jumbo scallop.

    Add oil to skillet over high heat. Once oil is hot enough, gently add
    tofu to non-stick skillet--you should get a healthy "HISS,"
    otherwise, it's not hot enough.

    Cook for 2 minutes or until pan-side is nice and brown, and gently
    flip with either your hands or a small spatula. Cook for an
    additional 2 minutes until both sides are a lovely brown color.
    Remove from skillet.

    In same pan, add a little more oil and then onions and mushrooms.
    Saute vegetables until they are soft and add Korean pepper powder.
    Stir until vegetables are well coated. Add orange juice and then
    water. Reduce until sauce thickens. Add corn syrup at the very end
    for extra sweetness and shine.

    In a separate pot, add 2 cups water and dashima and fennel bulb.
    Bring to boil then reduce heat to simmer. Add miso paste and stir
    until well incorporated.

    For plating, in a shallow bowl, gently place "tallop" in center. Pour
    miso broth through sieve into bowl. Spoon a bit of the onions and
    mushrooms together with citrus chili reduction onto top of tallop.

    Add garnish items to the very top with chopsticks or tweezers.
