Method
 

How to Make Dirty Beurre Blanc Scallops
  1. Prepare Scallops: Start by removing the foot from the scallops. Pat them dry thoroughly, including using a hair dryer on cool for best results. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Sear Scallops: Preheat a pan over high heat. Add a splash of olive oil and sear the scallops for 3-4 minutes on one side, flip, and continue cooking for 1 more minute until they are golden and firm. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  3. Make Sauce: In the same pan, pour in a bit more olive oil. Sauté the white part of the scallions and ginger until fragrant. Add sake and mirin, reducing the mixture by ¾. Off heat, whisk in the tamari and cold butter until the sauce is emulsified and silky.
  4. Serve: Plate the scallops over the warm dirty beurre blanc sauce. Garnish with bright lemon zest, the green parts of the scallions, and a drizzle of salsa macha for an extra touch.
