Wash the green asparagus, halve it, and cook it to the desired tenderness. Prepare the scallops as follows: Make four 5 mm deep cuts on one side, crosswise and lengthwise. Season with salt and pepper, then dust with flour. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a pan and fry the scallops on the cut side first. Once it is lightly browned, turn it over and fry briefly on the other side, then remove from the pan. Add another tablespoon of butter to the same pan and toss with the white wine and soy sauce. Arrange the scallops and asparagus evenly on plates, drizzle with the butter and soy sauce, and serve immediately. Note: The scallops should have a crispy texture on the outside and still be slightly raw or translucent on the inside. Please do not overcook.
