175 grams Northwest verjus
25 grams Alpenfire Incendiary vinegar
15 grams Northwest patis
50 grams minced sili (hot and sweet chile)

2 grams salt

METHOD:
For the Patijus:
In a nonreactive storage container, combine all ingredients and allow to infuse at least overnight, preferably forever. We recommend making a large quantity to keep on hand, as it can be used for many other things.
To Assemble and Serve:
In a bowl, combine scallops and 200 grams Patijus, tossing to coat. Marinate 30 minutes. Add remaining ingredients, tossing gently to combine; adjust seasoning, if necessary. Nod head with approval and serve, often over rice or on its own, if desired—you do you
