STIR-FRIED SCALLOPS WITH LETTUCE



Stir-Fried Scallops With Lettuce image

From Wei-Chuan's Cookbook, Chinese Cuisine. This is an authentic chinese recipe. The dried scallops or dried shrimp lends a complex aroma to the clean crisp lettuce. Dried scallops are expensive, but they lend a sweet seafood taste and is much preferred, the dried shrimp is tasty too, but the flavor is more robust. Although I made this as is with the dried scallops --it was excellent, and I loved the texture of the lettuce, I find iceberg void of the nutrients of true green leafy vegetables favored by the Chinese. Therefore, this dish can be made with romaine lettuce, baby bok choy or pea shoot leaves (which are abundant in late winter and early spring in chinatowns in major cities.) We actually ordered this dish with scallop/pea shoot leaves recently over Chinese New Year in a restaurant and it would've been tastier with this sauce!

STIR-FRIED LETTUCE



Stir-fried lettuce image

Pan-fry iceberg lettuce with garlic and oyster sauce for an unusual side dish - perfect with Asian main courses or curries

Provided by Ping Coombes

Categories     Side dish

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 iceberg lettuce
2 tbsp vegetable oil
3 large garlic cloves , roughly chopped
2 tbsp oyster sauce
large pinch of ground white pepper

Steps:

  • Peel apart the lettuce leaves and roughly tear them into smaller pieces. I usually just halve each leaf. Heat the oil in a wok or a large frying pan (metal woks, rather than non-stick, give a better flavour to this dish). Throw in the garlic and fry for 1 min until fragrant, then add the lettuce leaves - they will make a noisy sizzle.
  • Add the oyster sauce and 100ml water. Fold in all the lettuce so that it is well coated. Add the white pepper. Cook all the leaves until they start to wilt but still have crunch.

STIR-FRIED LETTUCE WITH CRISPY GARLIC AND FRIED EGGS



Stir-Fried Lettuce With Crispy Garlic and Fried Eggs image

In Chinese culture, cooked lettuce is a symbol of good luck and is often eaten during Lunar New Year feasts. In Cantonese, the word for lettuce is sang choy, and in Mandarin, it's sheng cai, which sounds like the words for "growing wealth" in each language. Stir-fried lettuce is commonly served as a bed for braised mushrooms or simply as a green side dish. Here, stir-fried lettuce, fried eggs and crispy garlic chips perch on a bed of rice, a simple meal with comforting flavors and textures. The joy of this preparation is that the lettuce retains a fresh crunch even after cooking; iceberg is preferred, but romaine will give you similar results. Vegetarian stir-fry sauce is a product sold in Asian grocery stores, but you can also use oyster sauce. For a shortcut, skip the fried garlic and top with store-bought crispy fried onions or shallots.

Categories     dinner, weeknight, vegetables, main course

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 head of iceberg lettuce (about 1½ pounds)
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 teaspoons vegetarian stir-fry sauce, or oyster sauce
1/4 teaspoon granulated sugar
Kosher salt (Diamond Crystal)
Black or white pepper
2 tablespoons plus ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 (1-inch) piece of ginger, peeled and finely chopped
6 garlic cloves, peeled and thinly sliced
4 eggs
Steamed rice, for serving
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
2 scallions, green and white parts, finely sliced
Maggi seasoning sauce, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Using a sharp paring knife, run it around the core of the lettuce, then gently pull it out. Remove any discolored outer layers of the lettuce and discard. Tear the lettuce into large chunks. Wash the leaves and allow them to drain after gently shaking in a colander.
  • In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, vegetarian stir-fry or oyster sauce, sugar and ¼ teaspoon salt. Season with pepper.
  • Heat a large (12-inch) deep skillet on medium-high. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of olive oil to lightly coat the pan, then add the ginger and cook for 15 to 30 seconds, until fragrant. Add the lettuce and stir-fry for 2 minutes, until it starts to wilt. Pour the sauce over the lettuce and stir-fry for another 1 to 2 minutes. (Take care not to overcook, as you want your lettuce to retain some crunch.) Taste and season with salt, if needed. Place the lettuce (and all the pan juices) in a bowl and set aside. Once your skillet is cool enough to handle, rinse it out and dry.
  • To the same skillet over medium-high heat, add the ¼ cup olive oil and sliced garlic. Stir constantly for 3 to 4 minutes until the garlic turns a pale golden brown. (Watch carefully! It burns quickly.) Remove the garlic from the oil with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel to drain; it will continue to brown and crisp as it cools.
  • To the remaining oil in the skillet over medium-high heat, add the eggs and cook untouched until whites are set, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • To serve, place a mound of rice in a bowl, top with lettuce, some pan juices, a fried egg, crispy garlic and a scatter of sesame seeds and scallions. Finish with a tiny drizzle of Maggi seasoning sauce, if using.

Bay Scallop Stir-Fry image

Bay scallops may be sweet, but they're not shy. Here, they stand up to the intense combo of soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and ginger.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 12

Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 cup long-grain white rice
1/4 cup rice vinegar
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon vegetable oil, such as safflower
1 red bell pepper (ribs and seeds removed), thinly sliced
2 bunches scallions, white and green parts separated, cut into 2-inch lengths
2 carrots, halved lengthwise, or quartered if large, and cut into 1 1/2-inch lengths
2 teaspoons minced peeled fresh ginger
1 pound bay scallops, patted dry

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, bring 1 1/2 cups salted water to a boil. Add rice, and return to a boil, stirring once. Reduce to a simmer; cover and cook until rice is tender, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat, and let steam for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk together vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch in a small bowl. Set sauce aside.
  • In a large nonstick skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high. Add bell pepper, scallion whites, carrots, and ginger; cook, stirring occasionally, until carrots are crisp-tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Add scallops and scallion greens; cook, stirring occasionally, until scallops are cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Whisk sauce briefly, and add to skillet; cook until thickened, about 1 minute. Serve scallop stir-fry over rice.

Tips:

  • Choose the right scallops: Look for scallops that are plump and have a slightly sweet smell. Avoid scallops that are slimy or have a strong fishy odor.
  • Clean the scallops properly: Before cooking, remove the tough side muscle from the scallop. Rinse the scallops thoroughly with cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed skillet or wok: This will help to prevent the scallops from sticking and will ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Heat the oil over high heat: This will help to sear the scallops and give them a nice golden brown crust.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: Cook the scallops in batches if necessary to prevent them from steaming instead of searing.
  • Cook the scallops for a short time: Scallops are very delicate and will overcook easily. Cook them for just a few minutes per side, or until they are opaque and slightly firm to the touch.
  • Season the scallops simply: Scallops have a delicate flavor, so don't overpower them with too many seasonings. A simple sprinkling of salt and pepper is all you need.
  • Serve the scallops immediately: Scallops are best served immediately after cooking. They can be served on their own, or with a variety of sides, such as rice, noodles, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

Stir-fried scallops with lettuce is a quick and easy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The scallops are seared until golden brown and then tossed with a simple sauce made with garlic, ginger, and soy sauce. The lettuce adds a fresh and crunchy contrast to the scallops. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
