Arrange all ingredients near stove. Prepare a large nonstick skillet
or electric frying pan liberally with cooking spray. Arrange onion
leaves in skillet in a single layer. Cook over medium heat just until
onion begins to brown.

Combine all ingredients, except scallops, in skillet; cover, bring to
a simmer, and cook for 5 minutes. Uncover and simmer until sauce
thickens--4 or 5 minutes more. Stir in scallops, and cook just until
heated through and coated with sauce. Serve with plain rice if
desired.
