Wipe out skillet and add 1/2 teaspoon oil between batches.

Tips:
- Use high-quality scallops. Fresh, dry-packed scallops are the best choice for this recipe. Avoid scallops that are treated with preservatives or chemicals.

- Use a flavorful marinade. The marinade in this recipe helps to infuse the scallops with flavor. Be sure to let the scallops marinate for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
- Serve the scallops with a variety of vegetables. The scallops in this recipe are served with soba noodles, but you can also serve them with rice, quinoa, or your favorite roasted vegetables.
- Garnish the scallops with fresh herbs. Fresh herbs, such as cilantro or basil, add a pop of color and flavor to the scallops.
