Instructions

Scallops:

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
In a wide skillet over high heat, heat up 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil.
Add your scallops into the skillet & season generously with salt and pepper. Sear for roughly 2 to 3 minutes per side, until golden on all sides.
Reduce heat to low, then add butter and soy sauce. Baste the scallops with the soy emulsion to finish cooking for about 2 minutes more.

Wilted Greens:

In either a deep skillet or wok over medium heat, heat up both sesame and remaining vegetable oils.
Add garlic and saute for no more than 2 minutes until translucent.
Add the kale or spinach and chili flakes. Saute for roughly 3 to 5 minutes until it wilts.
Season with salt and pepper to taste and adjust accordingly.
Place your wilted greens over your plate, then place your scallops on top. Drizzle with the remaining soy emulsion, then garnish with mixed sesame seeds. Serve with steamed rice.
