Love bacon?  Love scallops?  This recipe is for you.  Developed by uber-chef Watcharee Limanon, it is simple enough for even the novice home chef to re-create with success.  We love it with pad Thai sauce, but it is equally delicious if you prefer peanut, green curry or massaman curry sauce.  Enjoy!

• ½ cup WATCHAREE'S Pad Thai sauce (or peanut, green curry or massaman curry)
• 3 cups steamed jasmine rice
