This is the kind of plate you would be served at the counter, recreated step by step for home. Dry-packed scallops have no added water, so they sear and torch beautifully instead of steaming. A kitchen torch gives aburi-style char in seconds; hold it a few inches away and keep it moving. Set everything out before you start so assembly flows without stopping.
