First, lets make the sauce. Combine MISO, SAKE(white wine is okay), SOY SAUCE, SUGAR in a small bowl.
Grill scallops in a frying pan. If you use raw medium size scallops, you want to use a bit of oil and cook one side for 3-4 minutes in medium heat. Then turn them, cook for another 1 minute.
If you have big scallops and are not sure if they are thoroughly cooked, pick the biggest one and cut it in half to check.
Then turn the heat to low, cool down the pan a bit and add the sauce. You are not looking for a caramelization. Thin down the sauce with water if necessary.
You may also cook scallops with just butter & soy sauce or butter & miso. If you use them both, in case your wife or girlfriend or children dont like miso, you can just tell them its cooked in soy sauce.
