3. Add wine and soy sauce, reduce heat to medium low, and cook until liquid is reduced to a glaze.

4. Return scallops to skillet and toss to coat well with glaze. Adjust seasonings if necessary. Arrange arugula and watercress on 4 plates; spoon scallops and mushrooms over greens and garnish each serving with a sprig of thyme.
