This delicious peach sauce is packed with flavor, and couldn’t be easier to make. Store bought peach jam is pepped up with fresh garlic, fragrant ginger, fiery Thai chili, and tangy apple cider vinegar and served with tender sea scallops and chewy rice noodles. Substitute a stemmed, seeded jalapeño for a less fiery sauce.

3) Meanwhile, in the bowl of a food processor combine 1 garlic clove, 1 piece ginger, and 1 Thai chile. Process until chopped, about 1 minute. Add 3/4 cup peach jam and 2 tsp apple cider vinegar to the processor and continue to blend until smooth, about 1 minute more, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Set sauce aside.
4) Once the scallops are done cooking, remove from packaging and pat dry thoroughly. Heat 2 tsp vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the scallops and sear on both side until browned, about 30 seconds each.
5) Rinse rice noodles with cold water and drain thoroughly. Spoon peach sauce over the bottom of two plates. Top each serving with rice noodles and finish with scallops. Garnish with cilantro and a squeeze of lime just before serving.
