Sautéed Scallops with Butter and Soy Sauce is a popular Japanese dish featuring scallops. The combination of flavorful scallops and rich, savory butter and soy sauce is sure to delight your taste buds.
Pat the scallops dry with paper towels. Lightly dust them with flour, shaking off any excess so that they are coated with a thin layer.
Heat oil in a pan. Once the pan is hot, add the scallops and sauté over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until browned. Then, flip them over and sauté the other side for 1-2 minutes until cooked through.
Add the seasonings (sake, mirin, and soy sauce) and butter to the pan. Continue cooking, occasionally swirling the pan, until the butter has melted.
Serve on a plate and spoon the sauce over the scallops. Sprinkle with pepper and green onions to taste.
