Ingredients
Method
In saucepan, combine rice, coconut milk, salt, half of the pepper and 1 cup water; bring to boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer gently for 10 minutes. Remove from heat; let stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with fork. Stir in cilantro.Meanwhile, sprinkle scallops with remaining pepper. In large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat; cook scallops, turning once, until golden and opaque, about 4 minutes. Remove to plate; keep warm. Drain oil from skillet.
In bowl, stir together orange juice, soy sauce and ginger; add to skillet. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to simmer; cook, stirring often, until reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Serve scallops over rice; drizzle with glaze.
Tip from The Test Kitchen: If your scallops are on the small side, you may get more than 20 in 450 grams. If so, reduce their cooking time to three minutes.
