- Cook the scallops for 90 seconds on one side.
- Turn the heat off under the pan and add 1 tbsp of butter.
- Use tongs to gently turn each scallop over into the sizzling butter, again starting at 12 o'clock and working around in the same order you added the scallops.
- Leave the scallops for 60 seconds, then remove the scallops from the pan and place them on a plate.
- Put the prepared garlic, chili, and ginger into the frying pan and stir to cook in the hot oil and butter.
- Pour in 2 tbsp fish sauce, the squeezed lime juice, and sprinkling over 1/2 tsp of brown sugar.
- Once everything is bubbling (about 1 minute), pour over the scallops, and serve with fresh cilantro and a little lime zest.

SEARED SCALLOP THAI NOODLE SOUP
We loved this! If you want it spicy, leave some of the seeds of the chiles in. The cabbage blends into this soup. Try whatever veggies you like in it. I like to eat the pieces of ginger and lemon grass, but some people might set them aside in their bowl. The lime leaves have a unique and delicious flavor, but if you can't find them, you could try making it with lime zest. If you don't like scallops, shrimp would probably be a good substitute. Based on a Ming Tsai recipe.

Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will make all the difference in the flavor of your dish. Look for plump, juicy scallops that are free of any off-smells. Use fresh vegetables and herbs, and choose a good quality fish sauce and oyster sauce.
- Don't overcook the scallops: Scallops are delicate and cook quickly. Overcooking them will make them tough and rubbery. Cook them just until they are opaque and slightly firm to the touch.
- Use a hot pan: A hot pan will help to sear the scallops and prevent them from sticking. Make sure the pan is hot before adding the scallops, and don't overcrowd the pan.
- Use a flavorful marinade: Marinating the scallops in a flavorful mixture of soy sauce, fish sauce, oyster sauce, and garlic will help to enhance their flavor. You can also add other ingredients to the marinade, such as ginger, lemongrass, or chili peppers.
- Serve the scallops immediately: Scallops are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will help to prevent them from drying out.
