Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams Sea scallops
- 250 grams Jumbo asparagus
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 2 stalks Green onions
Instructions
Pat the sea scallops dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and ground black pepper. Set aside.
Wash and trim the jumbo asparagus by snapping off the woody ends. Slice the asparagus into 2-inch pieces.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. Peel and grate the fresh ginger. Slice the green onions into thin rounds for garnish.
In a small bowl, prepare the stir fry sauce by mixing soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water. Stir until the cornstarch dissolves and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the scallops and sear for 2 minutes on each side until golden and opaque. Remove the scallops from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Add the garlic and ginger, stirring constantly for 30 seconds to release their aroma.
Add the sliced asparagus and stir fry for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp. Adjust cooking time based on the thickness of the asparagus.
Return the scallops to the skillet and pour in the prepared stir fry sauce. Stir gently to coat the scallops and asparagus evenly. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish the stir fry with sliced green onions.
Serve immediately with steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
