Garlic Scallops image

Posting for zwt 2006 (Asian region). I love Scallops and can't wait to make this one myself. Looks fairly easy and quite tasty if the ingredients are any indication.

Time 30m

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb scallops
1 red bell pepper, cut into thin strips
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 green onions, cut into 2 inch pieces
1 tablespoon cornstarch, dissolved in
4 tablespoons water
1/3 cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
2 teaspoons dry sherry or 2 teaspoons rice wine vinegar
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
3 tablespoons oil, for stir-frying
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves, as garnish

Steps:

  • Rinse the scallops under running water and pat dry.
  • In a small bowl, prepare the cornstarch slurry (mix together the cornstarch and the 4 tbsps. water) and set aside.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, oyster sauce, rice wine or sherry or rice vinegar, and sugar to form the sauce; set aside.
  • Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high to high heat; add the oil to the heated wok; when the oil is hot, add the garlic cloves and half the green onion; Stir-fry until the garlic is aromatic but not browned as that will give it a bitter edge.
  • Add the red bell pepper and the scallops and stir-fry for about 2 minutes, taking care not to overcook the scallops. Add the sauce and simmer the scallops and pepper in the sauce, uncovered, for about 5 minutes.
  • Give the cornstarch and water slurry a quick re-stir; add in the middle of the wok, stirring quickly to thicken; mix with the other ingredients.
  • Stir in the remainder of the green onion and garnish with the chopped cilantro.
  • Serve over rice.
