Steps:
- In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, Mirin, chili sauce, ginger, garlic, sugar and oil. Add scallops and toss well. Set aside to marinate for 1/2 hour under refrigeration.
- Cook the bacon until lightly browned but only about half cooked. It must still be flexible enough to wrap around the scallops. Cut each piece in half.
- Preheat your grill to a medium heat.
- Remove the scallops from the marinade and pat dry. Wrap each scallop in a piece of bacon and secure it with a toothpick.
- Place the wrapped scallops on the grill and cook for about 6 minutes until bacon is crispy and the scallops are firm. Watch for flare ups and turn them often. Serve immediately.

Tips:
- When choosing scallops, look for ones that are about 1 1/2 inches in diameter and have a firm, plump texture.
- If you can't find Chinese bacon, you can substitute regular bacon. Just be sure to cook it until it is crispy before wrapping it around the scallops.
- To make the sauce, you can use any type of hoisin sauce that you like. If you want a sweeter sauce, you can add some honey or brown sugar.
- Be careful not to overcook the scallops. They should be cooked through, but still slightly translucent in the center.
- Serve the scallops immediately with the sauce drizzled over the top.
