Steps:
- Pat the scallops dry and set aside.
- Melt 3 tablespoons of the butter over medium heat in a large skillet and add the garlic and ginger. Sauté until fragrant, 1 minute, then sprinkle with the flour. Combine well and continue cooking, stirring constantly, until the mixture is smooth and light gold in color, about 2 minutes longer.
- Add the cream and sugar and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture is smooth and the sugar has dissolved. Slowly stir in the lime juice and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Continue cooking until the sauce thickens to a rich, creamy consistency, 3 to 4 minutes more, then stir in the scallions and half of the chopped cilantro. Transfer the sauce to a bowl and cover to keep warm.
- Wipe out the pan, return it to the stove and add the remaining tablespoon of butter along with the vegetable oil.
- Turn the heat to medium-high and once hot, add the scallops in a single layer.
- Note: The scallops need about 3/4-inch of space between them in order to sear properly. If the pan seems overcrowded, cook them in 2 batches.
- Sear the scallops until they develop a golden crust on the outside, 1-1/2 minutes per side (see notes).
- To serve, spoon a portion of sauce onto individual serving plates, top with scallops and garnish with the remaining chopped cilantro.

Steps:
- In a small saucepan, reduce the chicken stock by half. Add the cream and reduce to 3/4 cup.
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Cut 8 to 10 thin strips about 5 inches long from a few of the light-green leek leaves. (You will use these to tie the phyllo ''bags.'') Blanch strips in boiling water for 1 minute, then cool in cold water. Pat dry and set aside. Cut the white and light green parts of the leek into julienne and rinse well.
- Season the scallops with salt and pepper. Brush a sheet of phyllo with some of the melted butter, fold in half, brush with more butter, fold in half again and brush with more butter. Top with a scallop, about 1/8 of the carrots, julienned leeks, celery root and parsley. Sprinkle lightly with salt. Gather up the edges of the phyllo and tie into a bag with a leek strip. Brush with butter and place on a sheet pan. Repeat with the remaining scallops.
- Bake until phyllo is crisp and browned, about 12 minutes.
- Meanwhile, reheat the sauce if necessary. When very hot, remove and whisk in the cold butter one pat at a time. Whisk in the saffron and season to taste with salt and pepper. Pool the sauce on each of 8 serving plates and top with a scallop ''bag.'' Serve immediately.
