BALSAMIC-GLAZED SEA SCALLOPS
Pan-seared scallops may seem intimidating to some, but it's really a simple dish to prepare. Sea scallops are amazingly tender, succulent, and mildly flavored, but when you style them up with a flavorful balsamic glaze, they can be a showstopper. They're sophisticated enough for dinner guests, but easy enough for a weeknight dinner.

Steps:
- Pat scallops thoroughly with a paper towel to remove excess moisture and ensure a good sear. Combine seafood seasoning, salt, and pepper and use to lightly season both sides of the scallops.
- Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add scallops to the skillet, being careful not to crowd. Cook until golden brown and a crust starts to form, about 3 minutes per side. Cook in batches if necessary to avoid steaming the scallops and be careful not to overcook. Remove from the skillet and cover to keep warm.
- Add white wine, balsamic vinegar, and Dijon mustard to the skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly to scrape up the browned bits from the bottom. Cook until glaze is slightly thick and syrupy, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Move scallops to a serving plate, drizzle glaze on top, and garnish with chopped tarragon.

Steps:
- Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat. When hot, spray with oil. Add bok choy (it will cook down). Stir often until tender-crisp, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove to a platter and tent with foil to keep warm.
- Meanwhile, pat scallops dry, sprinkle with salt and season with fresh pepper.
- Melt butter in pan over medium. Add scallops (in 2 batches if necessary). Cook 2 minutes and flip to cook other side for 1 to 2 more minutes. If butter turns dark, turn heat down slightly. Only cook for 1 minute per side if using the small scallops.
- Remove scallops to platter, on top of bok choy and tent with foil.
- Add sweet chili sauce, water and vinegar to pan. Boil, stirring until thickened slightly, about 1 to 2 minutes. Pour sauce over scallops and bok choy. Serve with rice.
SEARED BOK CHOY
Steps:
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil and heat until shimmering. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for about 30 seconds. Add the bok choy cut-side down and cook, continuing to stir the garlic to keep it from burning but without moving the bok choy to get a nice even sear, until the bok choy is dark brown on the bottom, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the soy sauce, soy molasses or oyster sauce and a few tablespoons of water. Serve immediately or cover and hold in the skillet until ready to serve.
- Combine the soy sauce, molasses, sesame oil, garlic, ginger powder, fish sauce, rice wine vinegar and honey in a saucepan on medium-high heat. Bring to a slight boil, whisking or stirring constantly. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes. Set aside.
SCALLOPS AND BOK CHOY WITH BALSAMIC SAUCE
Steps:
- In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat, swirling to coat the bottom. Cook the scallops in a single layer with some space between the pieces (so they don't steam). Cook for 1 minute, stirring occasionally after 30 seconds. (If the scallops were frozen, they may need to cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes to evaporate the extra liquid they release.)
- Stir in the remaining ingredients except the vinegar. Cook, covered, for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the scallops are cooked through (white and opaque, not translucent, in the center), stirring occasionally. Watch carefully; scallops become rubbery when overcooked by even 1 or 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the scallop mixture to a serving platter. Cover to keep warm.
- Add the vinegar to the liquid in the skillet. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the liquid is reduced by half. Pour over the scallops.
- Cook's Tip on Scallops
- When scallops are called for, you can use either sea or bay scallops. Bay scallops (as many as 40 per pound) are milder-and more expensive-than sea scallops (12 to 15 per pound). To substitute sea scallops for bay, cut the sea scallops in halves, quarters, or slices.
- Cook's Tip on Bok Choy
- Look for bok choy, with its long white stalks and large dark green leaves, near the cabbage in the produce section. Slices of raw bok choy stalks add a pleasant crunch to salads. Both the stalks and the leaves are good in stir-fry dishes and soups.
