Peel the pears, cut in half and remove core with a spoon. Place pears in a sauce pan with the sugar and add enough water to cover half way up on the pears. Simmer for 15 – 20 minutes until just tender (turning over once during simmering). Remove pears to a plate, allow to cool and slice each half into 1/4 inch thick pieces. Reduce remaining water and sugar in pan by half and add the white wine.
Cut scallops in half forming disks. Salt and pepper scallops. Add remaining salt and pepper to the rice flour and dredge the scallops.
In a sauté pan heat the oil and Smart Balance until just shimmering, add the scallops and cook for only 2 minutes, turn over and cook for 1 minute more. Remove scallops to a plate and add the sage leaves, cook until crispy. Remove sage and add the reserved sugar water and wine to the pan, stir to combine to make a sauce.
To plate: Place 4 slices of the pears on a plate, forming 2 circles, add 2 scallops to each circle, spoon some of the sauce and place sage leaves on top.
