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 fresh, high-quality scallops. Look for scallops that are plump and firm, with a slightly briny smell. Avoid scallops that are slimy or have a strong fishy odor.
  • Use a large skillet or wok. This will help the scallops to cook evenly and prevent them from overcrowding.
  • Heat the oil over high heat. This will help to sear the scallops and lock in their flavor.
  • Do not overcrowd the skillet. Cook the scallops in batches if necessary to prevent them from steaming instead of searing.
  • Cook the scallops for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are opaque and cooked through. Overcooked scallops will become tough and chewy.
  • Serve the scallops immediately. They can be served on their own, over rice, or with a side of vegetables.

Conclusion:

Vietnamese stir-fried scallops is a quick and easy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The scallops are tender and juicy, and the sauce is flavorful and slightly spicy. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
