🥘 Ingredients

15 items

• 1 pound Sea scallops
• 8 ounces Shiitake mushrooms
• 2 cups Broccoli florets
• 1 medium Red bell pepper
• 3 large Garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Oyster sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon Water
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 2 stalks Scallions (green onions)
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

📝 Instructions

8 steps

1. Rinse the sea scallops under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Sprinkle them lightly with salt and black pepper, and set aside.

2. Trim the stems off the shiitake mushrooms and slice the caps thinly. Cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets. Slice the red bell pepper into thin strips. Mince the garlic and ginger. Chop the scallions into 1-inch pieces.

3. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water. Set the sauce mixture aside.

4. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the scallops in a single layer and sear for about 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the scallops from the pan and set aside on a plate.

5. In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the garlic and ginger, and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.

6. Add the broccoli and red bell pepper to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp. Add the shiitake mushrooms and cook for another 2 minutes.

7. Return the scallops to the skillet and pour in the sauce mixture. Toss everything together gently to coat the ingredients evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and everything is heated through.

8. Add the chopped scallions and give a final toss. Serve immediately over steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
