SPICY SCALLOP AND SNOW PEA STIR-FRY



Spicy Scallop and Snow Pea Stir-Fry image

It's scallops season here in Maine! Our local supermarket chain (Hannaford's) included the following recipe in their monthly magazine. Outstanding!

Provided by lecole54

Categories     Chinese

Time 32m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 tablespoons water, divided
2 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce
2 teaspoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, crushed (or to taste)
1 teaspoon canola oil
1 lb scallops (sea)
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
1 tablespoon ginger, peeled and grated
1 orange bell pepper, cut into thin 2-inch lengths
1/2 lb snow peas
1 scallion, thinly sliced (optional garnish)

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup of the water with soy sauce, vinegar, and cornstarch until evenly blended. Whisk in sugar and red pepper flakes. Set aside.
  • Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Swirl to coat pan. When hot, add scallops. Cook undisturbed for 3 minutes until golden brown on one side. Transfer scallops to a plate and cover with foil. Set aside.
  • Add garlic, ginger, bell pepper, snow peas, and remaining 2 tablespoons of water to the pan. Cook and stir until snow peas become bright green. Rewhisk sauce and add it to the pan along with reserved scallops. The sauce will quickly thicken as it simmers. Toss and stir until vegetables are coated with sauce and scallops are done cooking, about 1 minute.
  • Divide among 4 bowls and garnish with sliced scallions, if desired. Serve with rice.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality scallops: Look for sea scallops that are firm and have a briny, sweet smell. Avoid scallops that are slimy or have an off odor.
  • Properly clean the scallops: Before cooking, remove the tough side muscle from the scallop. You can do this by running a sharp knife along the side of the scallop and gently pulling the muscle away.
  • Don't overcook the scallops: Scallops cook quickly, so it's important not to overcook them. Overcooked scallops will become tough and rubbery.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe calls for broccoli, carrots, and bell peppers, but you can use any vegetables that you like. Some other good options include snow peas, snap peas, and baby corn.
  • Make sure the sauce is thick enough: The sauce in this recipe should be thick enough to coat the scallops and vegetables. If the sauce is too thin, it will not adhere to the ingredients.

Conclusion:

This sea scallop stir-fry is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is packed with flavor. The scallops are cooked to perfection and the vegetables are tender-crisp. The sauce is flavorful and brings the dish together. If you are looking for a healthy and delicious seafood dish, this sea scallop stir-fry is a great option.
