Instructions
Before starting, wash and dry all produce. Remove outer layer of lemongrass, then halve lengthwise. Place on a cutting board, cut-side down. Using the back of a spoon or a pot, forcefully hit lemongrass to crush.Add 1 cup (2 cups) water and 1/8 (1/4 tsp) tsp salt to a medium pot. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Meanwhile, using a strainer, rinse rice until water runs clear.Add rice and half the lemongrass to the boiling water, then reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and cook until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 12-14 min. (NOTE: Reduce heat to low if water is boiling over.) Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.
Trim ends off of broccolini, then cut any larger stalks in half lengthwise, leaving thinner stalks whole.Peel, then cut shallot into 1/4-inch pieces.Finely chop remaining lemongrass.Roughly chop cilantro.
Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat. When hot, add broccolini and 1/4 cup (1/3 cup) water, 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter, half the ginger-garlic puree and half the shallots. Cover and cook, tossing occasionally, until broccolini is tender-crisp and water evaporates, 4-5 min. Uncover and cook, stirring often, until shallots soften, 1-2 min. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a plate, then cover to keep warm.
Meanwhile, pat scallops dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper. Reheat the same pan over medium-high. When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter, then swirl the pan until melted.Add scallops. Sear, flipping halfway through, until golden-brown, 1-2 min per side.**Transfer to the same plate as broccolini, then cover to keep warm.
