Steps:
- Remove the small side muscle from the scallops, rinse with cold water and thoroughly pat dry.
- Add the butter and oil to a 12 to 14-inch saute pan on high heat. Salt and pepper the scallops. Once the fat begins to smoke, gently add the scallops, making sure they are not touching each other. Sear the scallops for 1 1/2 minutes on each side. The scallops should have a 1/4-inch golden crust on each side while still being translucent in the center. Serve immediately.

- Remove scallops to a platter, then whisk salt, pepper, and lemon juice into butter. Pour sauce over scallops to serve.

- Boil a small pot of water and remove from heat. Immediately add the dry vermicelli noodles and let cook, stirring for 30 seconds. Rinse with cold water and transfer to a colander to drain. Set aside. This step is needed to hydrate and soften the noodles, but be careful not to overcook them!
- Heat a saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and oil, and stir until just starting to sizzle. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
- If using a single shallow serving plate, spread the cooked mung bean noodles evenly. If using small dim sum style plates or scallop shells, distribute the noodles evenly (one shell/plate per scallop). Be sure that the dishes you use have enough rim to contain the sauce.
- Place the scallops on top of the mung bean vermicelli, and spoon a small amount of garlic on top of each scallop. Add 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, the sugar, 1/3 cup water to the remaining garlic and oil in your pot and bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Set aside.
