Jinja and Shoga: Life in the Land of the Rising Sun

   I finally got around to trying this recipe from Health magazine that I'd been hanging onto for years...and I'm glad I did! Very easy, and it tasted great. I'm not sure if it's supposed to be a Japanese recipe or simply an Asian one, but the ingredients are all things that Japanese kitchens are always stocked with (besides the crushed red pepper, that is).
The only substitution I made was using baby leeks instead of green onions, and the scallops that I bought still had their beards on.
If you're in a rush, this recipe is supposed to only take 8 minutes total. Not too sure about that, but it was definitely pretty quick.
