Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb large sea scallops
- 2 cups snow peas
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 2 teaspoons sriracha or chili garlic sauce
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
Rinse the sea scallops under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Remove the tough side muscle if present.
Trim the ends of the snow peas and rinse them under cold water. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sriracha, honey, cornstarch, and water until smooth. This will be your stir-fry sauce.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the scallops in a single layer and sear for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the scallops from the pan and set them aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Stir in the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Toss in the snow peas and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they start to become tender but remain crisp.
Return the scallops to the skillet. Pour the sauce over the scallops and snow peas, stirring well to coat everything evenly. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until the sauce thickens and the scallops are fully cooked.
Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish the stir-fry with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if using.
Serve hot with steamed rice or noodles, and enjoy!
