How To Make tamari and honey-glazed scallops
-
Step 1In a small bowl, whisk together tamari, honey, mustard, vinegar and red pepper flakes; set aside.
-
Step 2Pat scallops dry with paper towels. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Cook scallops in a single layer, flipping once, until golden brown and just cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. (Work in batches, if necessary, adding the remaining 1 tablespoon oil when needed.) Transfer scallops to a large plate when done.
-
Step 3Reduce heat to medium low and allow skillet to cool off a bit, then carefully add tamari-honey mixture to skillet and simmer briefly until reduced to a glaze. Return scallops to skillet and toss well to coat.

Step 4Sprinkle with sesame seeds, and serve.
