Preparation

Step 1

Heat a large frying pan over med-high heat. When hot, spray with oil. Add bok choy. Stir often until tender-crisp, about 3-4 mins. Remove to a platter and tent with foil to keep warm. Meanwhile, pat scallops dry, sprinkle with salt and pepper. Melt butter in pan over medium. Add scallops. Cook 2 mins., slip and cook 1-2 mins. more. If butter turns dark, reduce heat slightly. Remove scallops to platter beside bok choy. Wipe pan with paper towel. Add sweet chili sauce, 1/4 cup water and vinegar to pan. Boil, stirring until thickened slightly, about 1 -2 mins. Pour sauce over scallops and bok choy. Serve with rice.
