Ingredients
- 450 grams sea scallops
- 200 grams snow peas
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 3 units garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 units green onions, sliced
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Pat the scallops dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Trim the ends of the snow peas and rinse them under cold water. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water to create the stir fry sauce. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the scallops to the skillet in a single layer and sear for 2 minutes per side, until they are golden and just cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet and stir in the minced garlic and ginger. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the snow peas to the skillet and stir fry for 2-3 minutes until they are bright green and slightly tender.
Return the scallops to the skillet and pour in the prepared stir fry sauce. Stir everything together and cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
Garnish the stir fry with sliced green onions and red chili flakes if desired.
Serve the scallop and snow pea stir fry immediately with steamed rice or noodles.
